    Guy who worked at my place before me kept using these and GOTO statements all over the place.

    His name? Cotton-eyed Joe

    It’s in Intercal, a joke language from '70s. Mark Rendle describes it here in his talk at NDC. This whole talk is ridiculous btw.

      This is the same language where you have to say PLEASE sometimes or it won’t compile. But if you say PLEASE too much, the compiler will think you’re pandering and also refuse to compile. The range between too polite and not polite enough is not specified and varies by implementation.
