When finally blocks and return collide in Java

A German-language software discussion is revisiting one of programming's early lessons: how try, catch and finally actually behave. The post points out that the finally block is widely treated as the place for cleanup code, while return ends a method and hands back a value. When a return statement sits inside a finally block, the two assumptions clash in surprising ways, and developers are weighing in on the edge cases.
Why now: Programmers enjoy debating little-known language edge cases that challenge something they learned early and rarely question.
