Quite a bit of talk about Ruby, but I couldn't work out which

According to Martin Fowler:
Closures have been around for a long time. I ran into them
properly for the first time in Smalltalk where they're called
Blocks. Lisp uses them heavily. They're also present in the Ruby
scripting language - and are a major reason why many rubyists like
using Ruby for scripting.

Groovy also supports closures in a similar way
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Closures
Webservers that support closures are a much more interesting
proposition.
