Some languages also kindof have you using GOTOs and labels for exception handling...I wanna say Visual Basic? I did a project a few years ago using CrownPeak CMS which at the time I think used VB for its templating language and I vaguely recall winding up with a lot of really snotty "ON ERROR GOTO HELL" clauses. I think some legacy data applications that had a lot of functionality written in SQL procedures used that sort of error handling instead of more modern try-catch-finally or try-with-resources blocks. It's all true but I don't think I'm inaccurate in saying they're pretty niche edge cases for most programmers.

At this point, Visual Basic itself is a niche edge case :D

And we're all the better for it being that way.
