Practical Uses
Although COMEFROM is syntactically and semantically valid, and capable of replacing GOTO in some programs, it is considerably more difficult to visualise in program design and actually implement in a programming language. The most well known use of a COMEFROM-like construct is setting a breakpoint during debugging. One implementation of FORTRAN included it, under the name "AT", as a debugging aid, with dire warnings against using it in production code. In addition, many modern CPUs have hardware support for breakpoints.
Some elements of aspect-oriented programming have been compared to the COMEFROM statement.
In some reversible computing assembly languages, the target of a GOTO is always a COMEFROM targeting the GOTO.

Famous quotes containing the word practical:
“Missionaries, whether of philosophy or religion, rarely make rapid way, unless their preachings fall in with the prepossessions of the multitude of shallow thinkers, or can be made to serve as a stalking-horse for the promotion of the practical aims of the still larger multitude, who do not profess to think much, but are quite certain they want a great deal.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers’ hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
