There was a discussion sometime ago in a Russian Dlang Telegram
chat about 'goto' keyword. And there was some empiric theory,
stating 'all good languages support goto statement'. Nor Rust,
nor Carbon, nor Zig will never going to overcome D or C++ because
of this. Language should give possibilities, not take them away.
And in some cases, goto able to make code more readable, more
sane and more understandable. Also, goto is much safer in
language with GC.
