|   | | | + 127137 [dblack wobbl] What would you replace 5 with? :-)
|   | | | | 127139 [blaumag gmai] idea would be to modify the language to allow that kind of

|   | | |   127212 [flgr ccan.de] Ref.new(false) or Ref.new(nil) do not act like you would expect them to

|   | | + 127253 [glenn.parker] Ouch!  That's what I get for posting code without trying it out first.
|   | |   127261 [jim weirichh] Perl does it by creating a reference (with a backslash) and then

|     |   127181 [as computer-] It's a change for the worse.
|     + 127166 [flgr ccan.de] Please, don't. That would actually make all this wrong thinking models
|     + 127219 [jim weirichh] A perfectly good way to think of variables in FORTRAN, Ada, Pascal,
+ 127059 [flgr ccan.de] This is not easily done. First of all you should ask yourself why you
| 127063 [mkhan lextra] I really need it.
| 127069 [flgr ccan.de] Maybe you could return a Hash then?
+ 127061 [assaph gmail] It's probably easier if you're used to think in pointers / references.
+ 127085 [dblack wobbl] Fixnums are immediate values, and are immutable, even when they're

| + 127160 [flgr ccan.de] x, y, z = 1, 2, 3
| | 127165 [mkhan lextra] I understand that.
| | + 127173 [flgr ccan.de] First, let's agree on using the term "mutable" (or "changeable") instead
| | | 127176 [mkhan lextra] agreed on using term 'mutable'.
| | | + 127183 [halostatue g] Different things entirely.
| | | + 127188 [langstefan g] You have to tell ruby what object you want to pass
| | + 127179 [halostatue g] The distinction is not between clonable objects and non-clonable
| + 127163 [halostatue g] I don't know why you're not getting this, as it is very simple.
|   127169 [mkhan lextra] May be I am not that simple!! :p
|   + 127174 [flgr ccan.de] Every thing is an Object. Names for things are not Objects because then
|   + 127182 [halostatue g] Yes, and no.
|     127190 [mkhan lextra] It would be great if we can do
|     127199 [flgr ccan.de] Which would be Objects whose values can be changed?
|     + 127204 [mkhan lextra] In this instance it would be confusing.
