Are there contemporary programming languages that do NOT have the ability to import functions or values or whatever from other files? Are there situations in which that would be a feature?

There are certainly situations where it would be valuable to be able to place limits on what can be imported, but I can't imagine trying to work with a language that was completely devoid of imports. Because that would mean 100% of your source would have to be in a single file, which sounds absolutely awful for anything but the most trivial applications.

Are there contemporary programming languages that do *NOT* have the ability to import functions or values or whatever from other files? Are there situations in which that would be a feature?
