It's been 50 years since C was released. We simply have better options than using goto in modern languages.

The problem is that modern languages still don't target C's niche (systems and embedded) as well as C does. So we're stuck with it for those cases until something else comes along.

The only thing I know of that's trying for C's niche is Rust, and it's still not ready for it yet, IMO.
