Not many programming languages support this kind of feature. We are not talking about substitution of the values in a string. Instead, we want to reference the variable using strings in a dynamic manner. In PHP, the following code illustrates itself.
1 2 3 | $a = "1234"; $b = "a"; echo $$b; //output 1234 |
$a = "1234"; $b = "a"; echo $$b; //output 1234
This works because $b equals string a and $$b will just be deference as $a.
The same can be achieved using BASH.

Scripting languages are dynamic, loosely typed and do not require compilation, so it is likely that the languages supporting this feature are scripting.
