I agree! "Resource" instead of "value" and "reference" instead of "variable" would bring this in line with the program logic community, from which many of these ideas spring or draw inspiration from.

Reference can't be used for this article since it has a specific meaning in Rust, i.e the most basic safe pointers, those with the & syntax, are references.
