What other languages use the same data model as Python?

The same argument applies to every language I know but two, all of
which describe themselves as pass-by-value. What you say certainly has
a consistency to it, it's just at odds with how I generally see the
term being applied. Forgive me if I don't share the same definition as
you, even if I do appreciate its elegance.
