Actually, this is only "Yuck" with primitive semantics. For example, a
functional program uses this type of semantic (only copy) all the time,
but the compiler is smart enough to figure out when to copy and when not
to. Hermes did a similar thing, and the compiler was good enough that it
not only usually passed by reference in spite of the pass by copy
semantics, it often managed to not pass the value at all, and simply
compiled the address of the caller's variable into the callee where it
could.
Think about something like SQL and whether it's easy or hard for the
programmer to make it work right on distributed processors.
