Dijkstra's paper "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" was an important factor in the introduction of structured programming, which in APL has led to the addition of [[control structure]]s and encouraging their use in favor of the [[branch]] command. Papers on [https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-07131-8_25 APLGOL] and [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262210729_Design_of_a_structured_APL SAPL], two experiments in bringing structured programming to APL in the 1970s, both reference Dijkstra's work. | Dijkstra's paper "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" was an important factor in the introduction of structured programming, which in APL has led to the addition of [[control structure]]s and encouraging their use in favor of the [[branch]] command.
