[Goto and Eval] The great evils of programming

#3
@Darth-Apple lol PCP pipes... Yeah I'd assume pipes used to smoke drugs wouldn't be very structurally sound.

I don't know much about eval but I can tell you about goto.

Goto is a programming command as old as basic, dating back 50+ years.
10 hello world
20 goto 10.

What likely happened is that this was added back when basic was popular, likely either Ms basic or q basic way back in the early days to make the language easier back then.

Just think of it as legacy code.
