PHP introduces "goto"

I feel like I've been trolled by the PHP haters again.

All of this language-ism is killing my chi.

I feel this is a relevant cross post, at least for my own amusement:

I agree wholeheartedly. C++ has goto, and although it's clear C++ can't learn from the past, at least programmers for PHP can be warned to use goto conservatively.

Error handling and portability of code from other languages will make PHP more widely used. That is the goal of the founders/contributors: make PHP used as widely as possible on it's features alone.
