Do you use it mostly as "labeled breaks" or to throw the values out of closures?

I haven't used it much at all, to be clear. I just found it surprisingly fun the last few times I played with it.

The specific thing it made a lot easier was implementing algorithms the way that Knuth writes them down. Which is very much a set of steps with specific calls on what step to go to next.

I think the reason I found it fun to play with was that I found that style of laying out what needed to be done was easier to work with than the standard breakdown that making everything a function or an object seems to require. For me, it was a lot easier.

Edit: I have one of the times I used this here: https://taeric.github.io/many_sums.html I did not put any effort into cleaning up that code, though. So it can probably work as an argument in either direction. :D
