You're being ignorant. A C++ Reference is a synonym or alias. An
ECMAScript Reference is a specification notion. A Java reference is a
pointer value whose semantic meaning is the thing pointed to.

These are very different meanings of the word "reference". At the very
least, people who use the word when they don't mean ECAMScript
reference should say they mean something else. Especially people who
shout at anyone else who misuses the ECMA 262 terminology.

The ECMAScript Standard has a section whose title is :
  3 Normative References
You are seriously saying you can't use a dictionary to find out what
the second word means. ROFL

Or perhaps your native language is not English and you don't know what
"in addition to" means.
