I recommend everyone write a program at least once that does every construct with gotos only (if, else, while, do, do-while, switch). I think it's critical that people understand what the CPU actually is doing here, because most people today do not.

I don't, however, find gotos particularly useful in practice once you have gained the knowledge of how CPU jumps work. Furthermore, CPU jumps require some additional education, such as what macro-op fusion is and why you should make sure the loops you write can use it.
