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?

I guess a more modern example you might run into is something like Rust’s no_std environment; which strips out the standard library of the language that doesn’t work on every device the language is designed to target (namely microcontrollers that don’t even have an operating system on them). Or like, maybe you’re writing your own operating system.
