I figuered out branch prediction is something out of predictability of a real software engineer working on top of a compiler in a higher level language... And I remembered Bill Gates writing self modifing code in the early MS-DOS days ...

Is it worthwile to introduce the (no) return statement in C++, Java, JavaScript and Kotlin with the following semantics:

(no) return; // pulls the top stack frame

(no) return all; // proceeds right after a call into recursion

(no) return 5; // pulls al frames such as the next return will jump to the fifth frame

(no) return -7; // pulls seven stack frames

Thanks a lot, community!

I enjoy ever visit and gained a lot of insight into my profession and beyond from all of you. Thank you very much.
