Unless I'm misunderstanding the mechanism (jumping to a label, right?), I thought most (well, lots of) languages supported this. Go does also: A non-minimal example using continue (but you can also break): https://go.dev/play/p/mEyEqcEYvcK https://go.dev/play/p/mEyEqcEYvcK The spec: https://go.dev/ref/spec#Labeled_statements https://go.dev/ref/spec#Labeled_statements It's just goto..? And despite "considered harmful", lots of languages have goto. There are some things for which goto (or labeled break/continue) really are the best way to do what you need. (I can't shake the feeling I'm missing something really obvious here!)
