I find Cleve Moler's old Fortran version of Brent's zero finding algorithm
using gotos clearer than the structured versions you can find in Numerical
Recipes. The operation of the algorithm is easiest to describe as a finite
state machine. As others have said, goto is also useful for languages
without exception handling, C for instance. You will find gotos in the
Linux kernel and in the Numpy core used for that purpose.

However, the post was for laughs, I didn't expect serious discussion. The
current thread is a pleasant surprise.
