Try as I might, I just don't see why it's important to maintain an independent index into the process progress of a running program. So you can know the exact point in the process progress where n equals the number of people in the room minus 1... What is the usefulness of it? What problem does it help solve to have this kind of process coordinate in time?
I can understand that unbridled use of GOTO tends to lead to a mess, but Dijkstra's argument seems to be more about the purity of the process, for... some purpose I can't fathom.
Still, I imagine he'd have a field day trashing dependency injection and dynamic dispatch!
