INTERCAL had COMEFROM with some interesting side effects in threaded code. There are some comefrom or related constructs in other languages because they can make some control-flow design considerations easier. Of course, the reason they aren't as widespread is that they can also make imperative spaghetti harder to comprehend.

Was it INTERCAL that had COMEFROM ?
I never tried it.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.
