//danceMove is now available from any function in the program
- global
function doFaggetDance() {
danceMove = "something";
}

function what() {
alert(danceMove)
}

vs

- local
function doFaggetDance() {
var danceMove = "something";
}

that scope is dangerous because it's so open, but pe/elf header values are global to that process so

goto-haters literally don't know how to write code using goto's.
>>
>>55130346
Javascript goto, not even once (hint: it does not exist)

while (true)
{
switch (goto_variable)
{
case 1:
// some code
goto_variable = 2
break;
case 2:
goto_variable = 5 // case in etc. below
break;
case 3:
goto_variable = 1
break;

etc. ...
}
}

I've worked on Fortran code with computed goto's. It's insane.

Nobody writes production code with gotos if they've any hope of maintaining code.
