And yet, I expect this will soon appear in those "JS is weird, wtf" listicles.

C# does not allow returns from a `finally` block, which has annoyed me at times. However, seeing the consequences of allowing the behavior realized in this article, I am happy for the rule.

I think C# does not allow any flow control in finally blocks, so no continue or break either (well for continue and break they're allowed if the statement they "refer to" is also in the finally block, but flow control can't go through or escape from the block).

Essentially in C# a finally block can only be escaped from by falling off of the block's end.

Doesn't javac issue a warning for this? I know most IDEs do.
