Platforms or programming languages for offline development

[u0206397]

Can recommend any platforms or languages more suited for development anytime anywhere?

Nowadays, many platforms and languages all assume a developer has Internet access all the time. Are there any old school systems like C++, where you can copy in .dll and .lib, reference them in project and use?

For example, many modern systems rely on package managers (Python pip, Ruby RubyGems, Node npm, Java maven/gradle, .NET nuget, Perl CPAN. All these assume a developer can get a high speed Internet connection anytime.

Sorry, I think I kpkb too much but to setup a private repository like a FTP mirror server just to use a library or package is more troublesome than worth the effort.

Java + offline javadoc. It is not a mandate to use maven or gradle tools to download from the Internet as you build. If you can manage your depdencies, you can have every class or jar files stored locally and source from there. If you like, use Ant as your build tool.

The same should goes with other programming languages make tools too. The convenience to download from repositories is a feature, not necessarily a must to your development work.

None of Python pip, Ruby RubyGems, Node npm, requires you to have a high speed Internet connection anytime.

You may need Internet connection when you are downloading the dependencies to your local environment, but there is nothing stopping you from sharing the node_modules folder through thumbdrive or some other non-Internet means.

Once the dependencies are downloaded on your local environment, plug out the Internet connection if you fancy.

can use things like Archiva to host your repository.
maven can be used to point to whichever local server for pulling of the library.
