ASM is made of gotos. That does not make it your friend. It is an enemy, a devil that tends to lead you into iniquity. Internal usage is of no consequence, as internal usage is the backbone of actual emitted code for the processor. At least 90% of the time, if not 99%, it is, in a higher level language, indicative of poor understanding of the usage of the language. Sure there are exceptions; there almost always are. That's why I maintain that it is not intrinsically evil.
