I believe that there are enough examples in various niches.

One of the most obvious is APL and languages inspired by it.

While the original APL would not be a good choice today, due to various features missing in it, for managing program structure and more complex data organization, even the first version of APL had much more powerful methods for handling arrays/tensors than almost all popular programming languages used today.

When using a set of high-level APL-like operators, someone familiar with them can avoid wasting a lot of time with writing low-level redundant code, i.e. loops, like you are forced in most programming languages.
