JavaScript and Python do not have references as values
Yes, they do. The difference is that they don't have any way of *not* having references as values, so there's less need to use the word explicitly in that way -- most of the time it's just understood. Nevertheless, terms such as "object reference" and "reference to an object" do get used in relation to Python when clarity is needed. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
