I think Matlab had subfunctions first.

But Octave has always had the ability to define real functions on
the command line using the function keyword, not just one-line
anonymous functions with the "@(x) EXPRESSION" syntax (added not that
long ago in Matlab and then in Octave), and it has also always been
possible to put more than one function in a script file, unlike Matlab
which does not allow functions to be defined in script files at all.
