To this point, no one has mentioned APL (and offshoots), which can dynamically
expand any array dimension at any time.
The procedure invocation dynamic arrays are much more common.  BASIC, PL/1,
and versions of ALGOL have had them for years.  They are more expensive,
especially if range checking code is produced (as even constant references
must be checked).
