Re:Python goto implemented with system trace function (2017) by pjc50 on Tuesday May 05, 2020 @11:37AM (#23081173)
I think a lot of people have reported having that experience, and I think it's been deeply under-investigated by programming language researchers.

My first programming experience was QBASIC. Even if it's not a good programming pattern, I think GOTO is a great way to let a novice programmer "discover" the idea of loops and functions for themselves. Although it's error prone, it's still very intuitive for someone with no programming background.
