Question
Which programming language first came up with the finally block?
I ask purely out of curiosity.
It is a very useful piece of syntactic sugar, and whoever first created it surely has a very impressive grasp of solutions to programming problems.
(Note: it is deceptively difficult to find an answer to this question...)
Solution
According to wikipedia the first to introduce this was NIL.
