You seem to way overestimate the difficulty of programming. It is a lot easier than pure mathematics research.

My first exposure to programming was BASIC, and I sort of missed the Goto when i was first started looking at C++.  And, in a way, it can make the programming simpler for some sorts of programs.  But I can definitely see the problems with it, and don't miss it anymore, especially now that I know how to use OOP.  It may be a bit slower, but the less obfuscation the better imo, even at the expense of some speed.

C has a GOTO statement, there's just generally no reason to use it.
