Several "C-inspired" dynamic languages support such a syntax:

$ perl -le 'print 0b101010'
42

$ ruby -e 'puts 0b101010'
42

$  echo 'puts [expr 0b101010]' | tclsh
42

These languages also support going the other way via a '%b'  format
directive in their printf() equivalents.

I think it's part of C# as well, but I could be wrong.  Many other
likely candidates don't support it (Python, Javascript, Java, PHP...)
