If you actually read the letter you can see that it also applies to modern programming and not just to "goto". Its truly a timeless article that everyone should read (and its really short!)

One might argue that this classic article equally applies to callbacks.

You could read it as a manifesto for solutions to callback hell which do not mess up your program's state, such as reactive programming.
