Because 'goto' is a pavlovian trigger. Programmers see it and their fingers take over - they can't stop typing until they've shared their views on its usage, calling you an idiot for using it, and calling your sexual orientation into question.

Anyway, the only reasonable response I've seen is the one from MrCredo ... if the goto skips the declaration of the variable, that might be a problem.

However, it's not a problem for any other language so I wonder why Blitz would take issue...
