Nearly all [[programming language]]s in common use today are strict. Examples include [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]] (prior to Java 8), [[Perl]] (all current versions, i.e. through version&nbsp;5 and version 7; Raku, formerly known as Perl 6, has lazy lists<ref>{{Cite web|title=Raku Programming/Lazy Lists and Feeds - Wikibooks, open books for an open world|url=https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Raku_Programming/Lazy_Lists_and_Feeds|access-date=2021-02-09|website=en.wikibooks.org}}</ref>), [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], [[Common Lisp]], and [[ML (programming language)|ML]]. Examples for non-strict languages are [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]], [[Miranda (programming language)|Miranda]], and [[Clean (programming language)|Clean]].{{Sfn|Cluet & Hull|1998|pp=25–26}}

Languages whose ordinary functions are strict but which provide a [[Macro (computer science)|macro system]] to build non-strict functions include [[C (programming language)|C]], [[C++]], and [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]].
