There are reasons why most higher level languages use it. :)

Sigh, it seems that nothing's changed in the last 50 or so years. Why
anyone would want to write financial code in C++ is a little beyond me. The situation described in the article cited has
nothing to do with
the programming language ...
In particular, the Haskell example says nothing. One can make any
language unreadable. But languages that force explicit, prolix attention
to irrelevancies give that a head start (pace Alan Perlis).
