One could argue that it's just as similar to FORTRAN (cf. computed GOTO

FORTRAN for a couple of decades. (I'm trying to recall if it was part
of F90).

stretching things quite a bit.
OK, so I'll change it to "vaguely COBOL-like"... :-)
Seriously, though, there some high-level similarities, and not just
the purpose...
