When traditional line-numbered BASIC was developed, those "impractical paradigms" were very practical, as FORTRAN had yet to get functions and its program flow was based on GOTOs as well. Structured Programming seems so obvious to us today that it was hard to understand that it had to be invented, just like object-orientation was later.
