Ask HN: Do you use goto, or labeled break/continue?

C# 15 (in preview with .NET 11) lets break and continue target an outer loop by label:

outer: for (int x = 0; x

 for (int y = 0; y 

}

Honestly, "goto" never even comes to mind when I write an algorithm. I find it hard to follow, so when I need to leave nested loops I extract a method and "return" instead.

Do you use "goto" in real code? Do you think you'll use labeled break/continue?
