No of course not. Java is very similar in only passing references around
for objects. And `ArrayList` and `Vector` behave similar to Python lists.

For a start they don't have a built in list type. C and Pascal don't even
have one in the standard library. C++ has STL vectors and if you, the
programmer, decide to store pointers in it instead of structures or
objects then you have something like Python's list type.
