Yes, I'm aware that went should point to 'to'. I only made it point dev for simplicity's sake, really. I hope it's still understandable nonetheless.

And regarding the Transitive Law, I was just trying to say that believing "references are values because variables are references to a value" should be avoided. Sorry if that didn't come out right.

Anyway, thanks for pointing (See what I did there?) this out.

I would then argue in favor of rewording that sentence. The reason being that it might confuse people about what transitivity is (i.e. a property of a specific relation).

A reference to Frege's "Über Sinn und Bedeutung" might be a better fit.

Anyway, thanks for pointing (See what I did there?) this out.

Oh, wow. This is some deep philosophical stuff.

It is, though I must admit I personally detested the subject as I have very different views about what language is. But that's going way too far for a value/reference discussion :P

Anyway, all jokes aside, I appreciate how you brought up the limitations and flaws of my article. Hopefully future readers will note your points. Thanks!
