Euphoria Language Changes
Pass by reference in Euphoria? One of the things that has made Euphoria
different and I think easier is it's pass by value policy.
Before implementors remind me "it is not really pass by value"... I know
it is copy on write I am refering only to how it looks to the language
definition only not if it actually does memcpy all over the place.
Basically I like EUPHORIA's behavior the way it is NOW. Nothing is
modified on the right hand side of the assignment operator. Pass
valueable information into any function or procedure and not worry that
data is accidently modified when it shouldn't. It also makes EUPHORIA
an ideal learning language. EUPHOIA objects returned can be of
unlimited size and structure why pass by reference? only to modify
things in place.
