Most languages do (sort of), if you can duplicate the effect of an assert
using native constructs. Frequently, "if" statements (or their equivalent)
are the same thing: "if" something is true/not true, then barf/don't barf.

Asserts do have value in that they can be more easily divorced from your
real code.

AFAIK, C# has asserts, through Debug.Assert.
