My message was not responding to you, it was responding to Mark
Caroll's (I hope I remember the name right) message saying that
he found this feature useful in his current programming. So I
asked him what language he was using, and after a bit of too
and fro, he realized he had got confused, and was not saying
what he meant to say.

So I was indeed looking for a common/popular language, since
that is clearly what his message implied, but as above, it
turns out there was a confusion, which does not surprise me,
because I definitely would find it unusual if some programmer
said they used this feature frequently and found it useful

(it would mean they were an afficionado of obscure languages
:-)
