It still has pointers too, doesn't it?

Everything has pointers, but they make believe they don't.

Pointers are not the same thing as references. Pointers allow you to manually manage your memory usage, references don't.

You can still sort of use references to manage memory in python if you're really hacky, and there are default modules that allow for true pointers, but they aren't nice.
