I made a mistake of mentioning Common Lisp in the same line. Common Lisp has pointers (cons) as well.

Hylang doesn't have goto, as Python doesn't have it.

Well you can always implement a goto by having

1. A list made of lambdas. List gives numeric addresses. Dict will give you named addresses.

2. Pass the above list itself to each of the lambda or make it a global variable called ADDRESSES.

No one talks about the cool imperative features of Common Lisp right ? The was the point I was trying to make.

Scripting is imperative.

Python is a scripting language .. right ? That makes Hylang a scripting language too. Hylang is (Python).
