In classic functional programming, the values of variables can't change but they are still called variables (even though "parameters" might be more fitting). > they just don't work the same as C or Fortran variables. In fact, they > work exactly the same as Javascript or Ruby variables. Apart from a fact that a C variable has an address (references are first-class objects, if you will), I really don't see a difference between a C variable and a Python variable.
