Another situation relevant language that supports this is Groovy (which is like what CFML could have become had it been stewarded properly).
Rust does; Go doesn't. Swift does. Scala does. Erlang doesn't seem to (but could not find a definitive source), F# does. Clojure seems to allow it
inside the runtime.
Clojure allows for metadata on certain types of values but that's built into the core of how values are handled and there is a cost associated with that: every value (with a few exceptions) has to be an object and have a pointer to metadata (so supporting metadata in general can
