Currently, you can't reassign references. The idea is to have reassignable references inspired by Clojure's Atoms:

(@number = 1)
(@number = 2)

(@list = [1 2 3])
(@list = (@list push 4))

This doesn't change that all objects are immutable. Its just the references that are mutable. Expressed differently: Clojure separates identity from data and both from behavior. Halunke separates identity from data and behavior, but keeps data and behavior together.

A simpler name would be "reference"
