Exactly. As ultimately that's what the machine code is doing.However, it is fair to use a bit of memory to store a list
of returning destinations... in a stack or the like. Name it,
'GoStack' or even 'GoSub', if you wish. Perhaps with some
meta data attached for convenience. You could look at it
in other parts of the code to see what was its objective.
Even copy that, and to attach to new bits of code. [/;-D

And "LET". What was wrong with that?a=b? what does that mean? What if a doesn't equal b? Now , "LET a=b", there's some proper manners. Come to that, more languages should have a PLEASE keyword And A THANKYOU would be nice too.
10 GOOD MORNING
20 PLEASE PRINT "Heloo b3ta"
30 PLEASE GOTO 50
50 THANKYOU
60 GOOD DAY
The closest to this level of sophistication so far is LOLCODE with its KTHXBYE command. Unfortunately, it doesn't have line numbers and is therefore shit.

LOLCode is lots of fun, yes.Most unstructured Basics will "LET" and you can use
numeric Labels all over, even down to a line's worth.
I like COBOL for the politest form. No assumptions!
If you did not state it exactly, it does not get in the
final code stream, period. Lacks a "Thank you" tho--LOL.
