Abundant reference semantics. Of course this is true of all OOP
language, and Java doesn't go all the way with it either, but it's the
most popular language that does it. It is also the first OOP language
that does it that I tried, and I totally digged Java for a while
before meeting Python and other languages that do it, and realized
Java is still yet another static-typing-done-wrong low level language.
