>But there also exists a flood of responses to this assessing > >``"Goto Considered Harmful" Considered Harmful''! Yes, including the one titled "Dijkstra Considered Harmful" ! Actually, I read somewhere that it was Tony Hoare (acting as Editor of ACM) who gave Dr. Dijkstra's famous article that catchy title. Dr. Dijkstra himself had nothing to do with the title, but still had to put up with the ensuing flood of "X considered harmful" titled articles, most of which were, of course, targeted against views that he espoused in this or later papers. >The most well-known of these responses being written by >Donald E. Knuth. I haven't read Knuth's response. Do you know where/when it was published? I don't want to miss this one. Thanks Hasnain.
