return in finally sections is a bad idea: function foo() { try { try { return 1/0; } catch(e) { return 2; } finally { return 3; } } catch(e) { return 4; } finally { return 5; } } Probably return allowance in finally sections is a design flaw of JavaScript language itself?

And what answer will give us following function? function test() { var flavour = “optimistic”; try { return flavour = “pessimistic”, “I am ” + flavour + ” optimist”; } finally { return “I am ” + flavour + ” pessimist”; } }

What will following JavaScript function return? function test() { try { return “I am optimist”; } finally { return “I am pessimist”; } } Try to answer as this is a good chance to measure your attitude 🙂
