Curly braces for blocks are used in many languages today.
If we limit ourselves to those available on VMS then: C,
C++, PHP, Java, Kotlin, Scala and Groovy comes to my mind.

Ordinary parenthesis's are used in practically all languages
and there are cases where matching can be relevant - deeply
nested or statement continued over many lines.
