Whenever someone says "Python is the only language..." it really turns out to be the case. Python is very rarely as unusual as people often make out.
To my knowledge, there are quite a few other languages that don't have constants, some of them are even moderately well known languages: - Mathematica - Scheme - Powershell and other scripting languages like bash - Applescript and Hyperscript - Ruby (the compiler only issues a warning if you re-assign to one, it doesn't enforce the constantness). I daresay there are many others. I'm not arguing here for or against constantness, but only pointing out that Python is in good company when it comes to lack of constants. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/6UNUE5HUPNI64XT454CUV4OKNRLGY553/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
