Are there any other languages that use the new C++11 uniform initialization syntax thoroughly throughout the entire language, or is this entirely a C++ idiom at this point?

I tried googling and thinking of any off the top of my head and couldn't really find any.

Edit (forFor those not familiar with C++11):

Basically, your typical initialization in C++ used to be an assignment/copy initializer similar to other languages:

int x = 5;

Now, the new syntax that is recommended for use is:

int x{5};

This is called the new uniform initialization syntax.
