You'd be surprised how many people don't know about 'finally' at all. Given how many of JS APIs are async, there hasn't been much call for 'finally', so folks haven't encountered it. I think they're useful again with async functions, which is why I documented that. You might be _very smart_ and know that stuff already, but the article wasn't written specifically for you. Having worked at the BBC, I'm a fan of the Reithian principles; Educate, entertain, and inform. Yes, there's a central point to the article, but I like using that as a starting point to look at related things, like async functions, and the promise stuff. TL;DR: It's an article, not a tweet :)
