Just looking for an extended answer to an earlier question (strings in a
case-switch statement), I found this on Joe Darcy's blog:
"Summary
"Provide the benefits of the time-testing goto control structure to Java
programs. The Java language has a history of adding new control
structures over time, the assert statement in 1.4, the enhanced for-loop
in 1.5,and try-with-resources in 7. Having support for goto is
long-overdue and simple to implement since the JVM already has goto
instructions."

Holy booping bat boop Batman!
Check the date of that article before getting to excited/disappointed ;-)
When I first saw that article, I got as far as posting it in an IRC
channel [without context] before I realized it was an joke. Fortunately,
I realized the joke before any discussion started up around it :-P .
