I don't know about game development, but I can mention another area:  
telecommunications. SMS/MMS gateway requires much low-level bit/byte  
transformation operation and much high-level logic like transaction  
routing.

But I've learnt that more verbose code, written only with standard  
language features, is much more maintainlable than more compact code,  
written with some domain-specific extensions. But may be it is just my  
Karma :)
