Everything Is References

Name: Anonymous 2010-08-20 16:29

Is there a language in which variables, function arguments, etc, are always references by default?

For example:

int x = 5;
int y = x;
y++;  // x and y are both 6


If you really did want a copy of something, you'd have to use a keyword:

int x = 5;
int y = copy(x);


And pass-by-value would also have to be done explicitly:

void func(int z)
{
   int w = copy(z); // now w is effectively "local"
}


It would force programmers to at least be aware of the fact that they're making a copy.

If I wanted to talk about programming, I'd call a meeting.

This flood of imageboard faggots has got to stop.

If you want to talk about programming, call a meeting. Don't have a job? Get a programming job, then call a meeting.

Don't bring your reddit/stackoverflow shit here.
