goto statement - bad or not?

I just started reading some stuff about Go programming Language (http://golang.org/) and I discovered it supports the goto statement.


But goto statement is bad..... a good programming language should not have a goto statement or not????


So I started surfing the web trying to understand why smart guys like those at Google could create a  new language with a goto and I found golang-nuts and than the Linus Torvalds opinion on this topic  http://kerneltrap.org/node/553/2131.

I think it's worth reading.
