There are many languages which do not reveal pointers directly to the programmers.
That is not a defect. That is an intentionally designed feature. But...
var ValOrRef = new Quiz.StructOrClass();
Mutate(Who: ValOrRef);Is that variable a value or a reference? Has it changed its internal state or not?
It depends on the context. Without pointer notation, it is not obvious at a glance #.
One should check # whether the type is declared as plain-old-struct or nullable-class.
Yeah, passing by "ref" is a very trivial job, but it feels not that elegant...
Is there any better language design?
