As late as 1987 it was still possible to raise the question of structured programming in a computer science journal.
Criticism and defense Lack of structure In the 1970s, programmers began moving away from unstructured spaghetti code to the structured programming paradigm.
Dijkstra refused to mention the debate, or even the GO TO statement, in his seminal article, "Notes on Structured Programming".

Further development of the language occurred in the standards bodies, with continuing improvements in structured programming and internal consistency, and with the omission of the more obscure or contentious features.
Instead, they used array operations, and use of structured programming constructs was often not necessary, since an operation could be carried out on an entire array in a single statement.
In structured programming, these can be replicated by adding additional branches or test, but for returns from nested code this can add significant complexity.
Loop with test in the middle The following was proposed by Dahl in 1972: Dahl & Dijkstra & Hoare, "Structured Programming" Academic Press, 1972.
Nonetheless, adopting the same discipline as in structured programming can greatly improve the readability and maintainability of such code.
