J and APL support (and encourage) a certain form of programming without error handling or library code reuse. The alternative wisdom goes against typical programming but it works together.
Recently, a post touting Numba was published. However, the example—a for loop—is unconvincing.
Suppose one would like to process compiler output to include span; vim uses awk (mve.awk) to do this.
I am in the process of adding a deduplication builtin to my Jacinda language. It's something I've wanted often enough and evidently part of the reason people use awk (it is the way to deduplicate on the command line without changing order).
One can use Jacinda to generate tags files for vim. This amounts to string processing with regular expressions, which we can do in a functional style, skirting Universal Ctags.
