The D Language has scope(exit), instead of defer. Example:

    scope(exit) writeln("3");
    writeln("1");
    writeln("2");

Output:

    1
    2
    3

The article references 'defer' being in several newer languages, but seems to have missed the 'scope' implementation in the D language which I think was implemented long before the other languages got their 'defer' feature.

No, I'm aware of it. GCC also has a similar feature as a C extension. I picked those languages because they very clearly use the same keyword.
