So perhaps your python code worked fine on Linux with UTF8, but Windows with cp1252 will crash in 100 places...
Add to that the various drawbacks on the compiler in terms of error detection and optimization, and I'm really not sure why the idiot who designed the language ever went with duck typing over static (but structural) typing...

The designers didn't want exceptions, everyone yelled at them and they found it was difficult writing parsers and such so they reneged and implemented a purposely retarded version of exceptions that's painful to use, thus both comprising their design intent as well as having a very shitty version of exceptions in the language after all.

>>42497704
Sort of, but established convention is to return an error code, so for pretty much everything you haven't written yourself you'd need to check return values to know when to panic anyhow.
Like I said, the intent was to make it miserable to use in the general case.
>>42497704
Not really. You don't know what caused the panic or where, so most of the time you have no idea how the fuck to clean it up.
>>42497819
Panic takes an interface{} value you can retrieve and inspect from Recover.

>>42498241
>complex language
>>42497958
Exactly. You can't do this with method calls, I just want to be able to jump out of code without having to jump back in.
Everybody tells me it's wrong, but it feels so right.
>>42497958
But why? First of all, you can avoid breaks altogether if your language isn't silly.
But even if, you just want to return to the usual exit point of the block of code in question - never anywhere else. Like here:import scala.util.control.Breaks._
val n = 10
val m = 20
for(i<-0 until n;j<-0 until m) {
if (i>10) break else {
if (i>j+4) break else(print("derp"))
}
}
>>42498435
Of course you can.
Even if your language is pretty shitty, you should still be able to make this block of code a method or lambda or anonymous inner class or whatever, and just return from it.
It unfortunately doesn't solve the problem of other programmers using goto, but it can be company policy not to use it.
I love Ruby, but...

Nigger, there is a reason why goto exists in C and doesn't exist in Java.
>make this block of code a method
Not if the nested loops require a lot of state checking (as in beyond just i, j, N and M).
>inb4 C is shit
C is lingua franca in the world of embedded programming, and branch prediction is another important factor which makes it stupid to do a lot of unnecessary if checks.
>>42498435
That's why I use while statements instead. Just add the extra boolean clause to terminate all loops.
>>42498507
>what is branch prediction
>>42498507
What has while loops anything to do with that, you can do that with for as well you fucking faggotfor (i = 0, continue_looping = 1; continue_looping && i < N; ++i)
{
for (j = 0; j < M; ++j)
{
if (some_condition)
{
continue_looping = 0;
break;
}
}
}
>>42498528
Break is just as harmful as GOTO, if not more so
>>42498536
No.
Break is my life.
>>42498536#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
jmp_buf env;
static void catch(int signo)
{
longjmp(env, signo);
}
int main()
{
int a, b, c;
signal(SIGFPE, &catch);
if (!setjmp(env))
{
a = 0;
b = 2;
c = b / a;
}
else
{
puts("you're wrong");
}
}
>>42498536
Break IS goto.
It is a conditional goto with syntactic sugar.
Hell, the damn while statement does exactly what Goto does at the lowest levels.
It halts a whole chunk of code and JUMPS to another section beyond it.
Break is better than Goto due to that because it can only step ahead of the loop rather than go behind it.
That is one of the biggest abuses of Goto, jumping BACKWARDS.
There are very few places that should ever EVER need to be done.
A common one is ask something, wrong format / answer, goto the question again, instead of doing it in a loop until it is successful.
Not only is that nicer, it plays less hell with the computer.
Mind you, these days it doesn't matter as compilers are stupidly good, so really it is all retards being old and anal over a literal non-issue.
>>42498241
>PHP is most efficient
Are you fucking serious?
>>42498599
>taking the bait
>>42498500
> Nigger, there is a reason why goto exists in C and doesn't exist in Java.
Java almost has a goto in shitty break <label>.
That aside, enabling the programming language to be less stupid might just be a good idea. It's not like most ways in which this can be addressed have a performance impact.
> Not if the nested loops require a lot of state checking (as in beyond just i, j, N and M).
Then make it a method.def muhMethod {
val n = 10
val m = 20
def runLoops {
for(i<-0 until n) {
for(j<-0 until m) {
if(j+5<= i) return else print("derp")
}
}
}
runLoops
}
It's not that hard, is it?
> C is lingua franca in the world of embedded programming, and branch prediction is another important factor which makes it stupid to do a lot of unnecessary if checks.
So you could use a method OR have a compiler that optimizes this code or support a language construct that obsoletes "breaks" entirely or any other number of solutions.
>>42498751
>Java almost has a goto in shitty break <label>.
I know, and they're great because they force you to only use GOTO as a nested break. That's also what PHP is getting now.
>It's not that hard, is it?
As I said, it's impossible to make it a function if it requires a lot of state beyond four simple variables. Lrn2 read
>So you could use a method OR have a compiler that optimizes this code or support a language construct that obsoletes "breaks" entirely or any other number of solutions.
You can't rely on the compiler to interpret what you read just because you have an autistic fit against gotos and breaks. Just look at the Linux kernel. There is a reason why you have macros such as likely and unlikely.
>>42498751
> I know, and they're great because they force you to only use GOTO as a nested break. That's also what PHP is getting now.
I had little respect for PHP's designers, but if they thought breaks and gotos and shit like that needs to be expanded on rather than eliminated, I think I just lost some more of it...
> As I said, it's impossible to make it a function if it requires a lot of state beyond four simple variables. Lrn2 read
But this is simply not fucking true. You can have an infinite amount of state in a method. All you do now as opposed to before is not jump to a label placed anywhere, but return the method as usual.
One entry point into a method, one exit point. Simple for you, simple for the compiler, simple for whoever writes tests.
> You can't rely on the compiler to interpret what you read just because you have an autistic fit against gotos and breaks. Just look at the Linux kernel.
This is all unrelated. Of course you can rely on a compiler to optimize if statements.
Gotos are unnecessary and harmful, and I don't really care how the Linux kernel was coded.
>>42498883

Stopped reading there.
>Protip: standard C doesn't have inner methods
>>42498904
> Protip: standard C doesn't have inner methods
It's a flaw of C, but you can still have your IDE / editor generate a regular method with parameters from the selected nested loops (plus the invocation thereof). Then you just add a return statement rather than a label and gotos, done.

You're a terrible programmer OP. You have to know how to use and write in any language if you know it.

Nothing, he's probably using the function wrong by putting in the wrong parameters.
