C/C++: not really
Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/numberintro.html
Go: Two proposals as of last year 
https://forum.golangbridge.org/t/what-is-the-proper-golang-equivalent-to-decimal-when-dealing-with-money/413/8
Rust: nope
PHP: Has stuff, but we REALLY don't want to go around copying them

So where is it used? PHP, Java and C# the most. What are the languages 
used in making e-commerce stuff? Them.
