how is it not a desirable feature? it can be extremely useful. also, it's what all loops and switches are converted to when compiling code. so basically bash allows you to do everything goto is used for with loops and switches, except actually going to a specified line.

Bash doesn't need goto, retard

Stupid.
And what do you do if you want to make links between parts of your script that cross over each other?

You obviously don't completely understand how shell scripts work.

Just use nested loops you little giggling shit.

What? What don't I understand? I'd love to hear your explaination here because I'm guessing it goes beyond the wildest depths of my imagination.
Shell scripts is one of the more concrete, more virtual form of "programming" out there. It is literally a binary interpreter your script by reading it character by character. It has total control over how it runs the script.
Bash has switches, while loops, do loops, for loops, the whole suite. Those are basically specific implementations of "goto". In fact, when you compile code that has switches or loops into binary, the compiler turns them into goto loops because that's all the CPU can understand. If the script interpreter is able to do loops, it's able to do simple gotos. It just doesn't want to for some reason.

While loops are far more intuitive than using gotos. I mean, all loops are handled with gotos at the processor level, but loops exist as syntactic sugar that does the same thing but is much more readable.
>>54677665
Yes but sometimes you just want to go to a line of code without it being part of a loop or a conditional switch.
>>54677665
>While loops are far more intuitive than using gotos.
I disagree.
The idea of an instruction that says "do *THIS next" is much more intuitive than the loop/flow-control/conditional blob that is required to understand a WHILE (or FOR/DO) loop.

>While loops are far more intuitive than using gotos.
while and goto are very different logical pieces at a semantic level. you can force one to work in place of the other, but they're far from immediately interchangeable (and frankly other constructs make more sense anyway).
