The GOTO Statement	KeepCoding Connect 2017	2017-07-11
Narrative traces Dijkstra’s 1968 claim that the goto should be abolished and follows the decades‑long fight as C and C++ keep it while Java reserves it and… Talk on
Goto There and Back Again	HolyJS 2017 Piter	2017-06-02
A claim that reshapes practice appears and then takes decades to win: Dijkstra’s 1968 goto considered harmful sparks a 20 year fight that ends with most… Talk on
Numbers	HolyJS 2017 Piter	2017-06-02
A fast tour from ancient numerals to software bugs with concrete claims: binary floating point makes 0.1 + 0.2 wrong, causing surprising error accumulation; an… Talk on
