The canonical popular language that had the shift operators was C (and its predecessor B, and I think also their predecessor BCPL). It tends to be included in languages that are trying to be "high-level assembler" languages - powerful to program in yet still close enough to machine language that the programmer can usually have a good idea of the speed of various ways of writing code. Many languages since then have adopted shift operations, but many have not.
