There are three kind of pointers, and two kind of references. Pointers can change, but reference can't change. There are no arithmetic operations to pointers. We can operate for objects that points. References are never nil, but weak references maybe invalid. There is a special container (an object) named Buffer for handling memory blocks and we can get addresses from that and use them to call code (we can make memory blocks for code execution too). So using buffers for data and buffers for code we can use pointers as those in assembly. Also we can use external dll, and pass them addresses too.
===Normal Reference===
Read Statement get a weak reference and make it a normal reference. Variable X can't get new reference. We can't get reference from an item in a container (array, inventory, stack)
