In my experience of programming so far, the 0.5% thing is signal in 2 basic directions. It is either that the problem is really hard and so most popular languages haven't attempted a solution and just make do with what they have. Or, the problem just isn't that interesting. Like, the solution is cool, but applies very rarely and even then doesn't matter all that much. Popular languages could easily implement it, but choose not to.
