Also Fortress, Agda and the classic APL

Interestingly Haskell is one step ahead of Python in some areas and behind
in others
---------
GHCi, version 7.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> let (x₁, x₂) = (1, 2)
Prelude> (x₁, x₂)
(1,2)
Prelude>

---------

However wrt getting ligatures right python is ahead:
[Haskell]

Prelude> let flag = True
Prelude> flag

<interactive>:5:1: Not in scope: `flag'

[Equivalent of NameError]
-------------
[Python3]

>>> flag = True
>>> flag
True
