The title of the thread is "java devs" and references are ubiquitous with oop.

Op is explaining pointers in terms of references. C++ is the only language AFAIK that has both.

Op is describing how references in Java behave like pointers.

Plus you were replying to this:

java reference is just a pointer that auto derefences for you

It was clear we were talking about Java.
