Goto is quite a powerful tool for having a full, imperative grip on control flow. It is quite often useful due it's simple yet powerful ability to "just" work. Virtual machines may often encounter situations where a tight control over the flow can be advantagous for performance etc. reasons.

Goto has been iirc a point of discussion from the language design pov for Rust. I don't think it promotes good design for most applications but ymmv.
