adding goto to Python
#11
i learned computers back when most things were still done in assembly. by "goto" i meant the classic "branch" machine instruction. it was among the fastest, but "noop" was usually a cycle faster.

ichabod801 raises a good point. while we could certainly avoid using a goto, if it were part of the language, avoiding its impact in the community would be a whole lot harder. though it could be a way to filter out bad newbie code.
Tradition is peer pressure from dead people

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
