The Goldfish Chronicles

So I’d never realised this was legal:

public class fred {    public static void main(String[] args) {        boolean a = true;        boolean b = true;

        C: if(a) {            if(b) { break C; }            System.out.println(”HAPPENED”);        }        System.out.println(”DONE”);    }

}

Old memories of hacking around in basic and various other languages are trying to resurface and overturn the ‘follow the standard idioms for readable code’ brainwashing.
