well, sort of. the first fortran-like "go to" statement is found in the bible.
thrice
in genesis chapter 11. god speaking:
"Go to, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
starting with fortran, the computer science community has succeeded first to

the most remarkable breakthru in communications ever witnessed in the history
of mankind, thereby overcoming god's curse proclaimed at the tower of babel.
