Not *quite* asynchronous callbacks (that's something fairly specific
to languages that run on an event loop), but close enough.

Lisp has, for example, macros like WITH-HASH-TABLE-ITERATOR, which
takes a hash, a name for the iterator to be produced, and then a chunk
of code within which the iterator is available.

Python has its "with" keyword, used like "with file = open('foo'):
doStuffToTheFile(file)", which similarly creates a named resource and
takes a chunk of code within which the resource is available.  I know
that other languages have similar, but off the top of my head I'm
having trouble thinking of them.
