Nice talk

It's easy to see how this applies to the goto statement.
In regard to the object middleware and the idea of functional 'wrappers', I think that's a completely wrong idea. I don't think the purpose of functional programming is to remove the need for object middleware (or object models) but the idea is to replace object models with a functional models that claim to have better composability, reusablity and closer representation of the problem domain but definitely not in order to gain efficiency. For efficiency you just need to be closer to the solution domain, or in other words, closer to the machine and not use functional nor object programming but C or assembly.

And remember that these "premature optimization" are going to be maintained by the new intern and you don't want him thinking that a goto would be perfect to fix that stack overflow.
