I couldn't locate the pertinent subject at
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/welcome.html, do you have a hint?

That was a nice read! I see Dijkstra's argument that a goto as
we know it is lacking necessary functionality.
However, a state machine has well defined rules based on a
state's stored information and its inputs, causing it to go to
another well-defined state while generating outputs. In that
context a goto is harmless and merely serves as a crutch when
there are not enough computing nodes to serve all states in
parallel. How to make such an efficient crutch in Forth?
