Of course they do - the whole point of having a different language is to try and be individual and cliquey! The idea behind Csh (IIRC) was to be able to script in the same language as you coded - and as someone who codes in too many languages and spends half his life swearing the codes correct and the interpreter/compiler is wrong I can see why that 'would be a good thing'. As half my work is in the browser these days the nearest I can come to this ideal is using javascript and mono, or possibly clisp and a javascript lisp interpreter but there are limits.
