But Why Tho: Python's Forbidden Goto

But Why Tho: Python's Forbidden Goto
The code is literally importing a module called wtf_am_i_doing with a goto statement in Python. That's the programming equivalent of bringing a chainsaw to perform surgery. Python deliberately avoided including goto because it's considered harmful to code structure - yet someone created an entire package to reintroduce this programming sin. And then used it to create spaghetti code that jumps around like a caffeinated squirrel. The execution flow is completely unhinged - we start at main() , jump to 'start' , print a message, jump to 'middle' , print another message, then jump to 'end' . It's like watching someone solve a maze by tunneling through the walls instead of following the path. The worst part? It actually works. This is the kind of code that makes senior developers wake up screaming at night.

It's All Goto? Always Has Been

OMG THE HORROR! You mean to tell me that after years of learning fancy loops like while, for, do, and forEach, it was all just disguised goto statements the whole time?! 😱 The BETRAYAL! The DECEPTION! Our entire programming education has been one massive conspiracy theory! Next you'll tell me that object-oriented programming is just spicy procedural code and I will absolutely LOSE IT. My entire coding identity is SHATTERED. *dramatically faints onto keyboard*

If Err != Nil

The kid asks for a io.EOF , mom says they have io.EOF at home. But at home? Just a goto statement lying on the bed. Classic Golang error handling bait and switch. The real crime here isn't the error handling—it's that someone's teaching their kid to use goto instead of proper error patterns. That's how you raise a future legacy code maintainer.
