I wonder who came up with this idea first. I find obvious early returns incredibly ergonomic.

Wikipedia says that "guard clause" was a term invented by Kent Beck, but that the actual practice was used since at least the early 60s
No, I meant the idea that guard clauses are antipatterns and your subroutine should have a single implicit return.
Sorry, I misread. Need more coffee
