Huh?

What's an example of a probabilistic programming language?

This isn't what the parent was talking about, but probabilistic programming languages are totally a thing!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_programming

Race conditions, effects of memory safety and other integrity bugs, behaviours of distributed systems, etc.
Ah sorry I read your comment wrong. Yes I agree we can and do make probabilistic systems; we've just to date been using deterministic tools to do so.
