@neauoire Yes. It was one of the arguments why INTERCAL is better than Perl, which has GOTO and as we all know that is considered harmful. :-)

GOTO Considered Harmful

A well-known fact in programming is that GOTO is considered harmful. Therefore, a programmer should never, under any circumstances, use this 4-letter word. Yet, it exists in Perl. On the other side, INTERCAL has resolutely discarded this despicable thing. If you need to alter the flow of your program in any way, you just use the incomparably better COME FROM statement.
