» Guy Lecky-Thompson - Are variables used in all programming languages?

I believe that the answer to this is 'maybe'. For example, some Object Oriented languages probably only have properties linked to objects (instances of classes).

A pure OO language would simply define an object, and then instantiate it, and manipulate the object as an object. I'd contend that it is not a variable per se.

On the other hand, if anyone can give me an example of a concrete language that really doesn't have them at all I'd be grateful to give it a test run here and share it with everone.
