There is an universal idea what == means, it's quite simple and more consistent then the mess Java has.

It's just that the JVM's idea cannot be brought in line with it consistently.

If you look at the history of Scala, you'd see that they tried to make Arrays work this way for 5+ years.

The blood being shed just wasn't worth the quirks it caused in other parts and in the end trying to fix the JVM's idea of arrays was abandoned.
