Fortran has had it since the 90s, but importantly,it has elementwise operations built right into the language. Python does not, but operator overloading allows for a good array library to be implemented (numpy). Many computations contain other functions, but the four arithmetic operations are very familiar and look godawful as add(multiply(5, 2), 7) instead of 5*2+7. All of linear algebra is aritmetics, as a prime example
