OK, first of all, I am not a programmer. (yes, I heard the "thank god") Perhaps I could make the top example simpler.

But anyway, I kind of like goto too much. I find it more intuitive to just jump around and re-use parts rather than think about how to do loops without too much nesting.

In high school, we only did Python. I really wanted to do goto in Python as well, but all I found was this April fools' goto module.

Now in college we're starting with C, and I am starting with Bad Habits^TM^.

Anyway, tagging every line was BASICally just for the joke, but it is useful to just jump to any random line.

Gotos are cool, it’s the way assembly works, if your mind likes them then more power to you. But if you work on teams then it’s a nogoto. Most of the functionality can be replaced with things that most people find easier. Just enjoy your time with and don’t ever is Kotlin. Fucking let me fucking return. I see them now those snooty opinionated safety fanatics “ooooh it will be so elegant in the closures the last value will be the return” bs.

    the last value will be the return

    This is the one thing that I really dislike about Rust. All this talk about safety and the return value/expression reads like a typeo w/o a semicolon. It even has return anyway since there are lots of scenarios that's needed for an optimal path.
