Just Another Victim of the Ambient Morality
I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this but is there a reason why Ruby
doesn't have variables that refer to other variables? I don't think Python
has them, either, so there must be some reason all these "new age" languages
feel that they don't need them but I can't seem to figure out what that is.
While I would actually be hard-pressed to explain why pointers are
essential in C++, I certainly can't do too much programming in that language
without them! So, there's some sort of difference but I can't put my
finger on it.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thank you...
