'''Edsger Wybe Dijkstra''' was a pioneering computer scientist particularly interested in using mathematical proof to produce correct programs. In programming language design he is noted for early advocacy against the GOTO statement (like APL's [[branch]]) in his 1968 paper "A Case against the GO TO Statement", later retitled "Go To Statement Considered Harmful"<ref>Dijkstra, E.W. [http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD02xx/EWD215.html EWD 215: A Case against the GO TO Statement]</ref>. He is known in array programming for his consistent complaints against the APL language and community.
