Fortran IV would let you GO TO out of a DO loop into a whole different procedure&#x27;s DO loop. (It didn&#x27;t have FOR.)<p>But why limit yourself to GO TO to fixed places??? Fortran IV also let you GO TO an arbitrary statement that would only be chosen at run-time &quot;assigned goto&quot;.<p>Fortran 77 still has that capability but you can limit it to specifically selected statements and it won&#x27;t GO TO outside of the current unit (a concept Fortran IV lacked.)<p>Dijkstra&#x27;s remarks were contemporary of Fortran IV.
