http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11682 --- Comment #13 from Liam R E Quin <liam@w3.org> 2011-01-17 18:33:24 UTC --- Dana, I don't really understand the amount of fuss this has generated. We did not put it in the language book. It's in the function library. However... languages with access to environment variables include... C (part of the core, required, standard libraru for ANSI and ISO C) C++ (same) Scheme (get-environment-variable / getenv didn't make it into R6RS but appears to have been approved for addition to their next version) Perl (via a built-in map; it was felt too important to be delegated to the POSIX module even though that's part of the standard distribution) Python (via os.environ, a core required module) Java, via System.getenv() Scala (not surprising, as it runs on a JVM) SQL implementations do appear to provide GETENV() even if it's not in any standard. There are lots more, of course, but I don't see why I should spend time demonstrating something to you that you could answer yourself easily with a Web search. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
