I don't think those 'considered harmful papers' are actually computer science papers though? Things like 'Go To Statement Considered Harmful' were magazine articles rather than papers.



It was more like a letter to the editor. But the editor invented the title.

Probably should have been "considered as harmful". We would all be better off today.


IIRC "Communications of the ACM" isn't a scientific journal but it's not exactly light reading either.
