popular VHLL/scripting languages which doesn't support defining of constants in the core language:
JavaScript has "const foo = 1;" PHP has "const foo = 1;" Perl has "use constant foo => 1;" Lua has "local foo <const> = 1" -----
- Mathematica - Scheme - Powershell and other scripting languages like bash - Applescript and Hyperscript - Ruby
I'm pretty sure some on Steven's list are more *popular* than some on Paul's list. What methodology for ranking popularity you use might change details. But none of Steven's are rate, obscure, vanity languages.
Right. So, if someone would like to add something to this thread, I'd humbly suggest to concentrate on the lack of, and need for, of const-ness in the Python language core (in comparison to other languages or not), and usecases it enables, and not on criteria for "popularness". -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
