I don't know about what you consider classic but let's take some old FORTRAN for example: I = I + 1 is often used to increment the integer variable I from its old value to a new value one larger and the 'expression' (quotes here because this is _not_ algebra!) is evaluated first on the right with operator precedence and then the result is placed in the location on the left. Most programming languages I know operate in much the same way.
