- zzalpha 12y agoBoth Lisp and Ruby all follow that convention. Probably other languages, too, but I'm too lazy to look... :)
- steveklabnik 12y agoIn Ruby, it does _not_ mean mutation. It means 'danger.' Sometimes that's mutation, sometimes its other things, like throwing an exception rather than returning nil on error.
- rayiner 12y agoTechnically, it's not the convention in Common Lisp, but rather Scheme and Dylan. But yes.
