But, what about languages that have support for "write-only memory"? (conman.org)

At hardware assembly level, modern memory access controlled via MMU / MMU emulation[0][1][2].

Just based on title description, any language that can set read/write status to file can create 'write-only' memory. aka remove all permissions but 'write'

Note: Context for files is unix 'swap' / in-memory files.
