You're loose with the terms. Java is not "literally reference implementation", it's the platform language of JVM.

While this is a major advantage, Java has also its fair amount of problems, some of them unfixable (or rather, the Java team is unwilling to fix them). It looks like Java will never get a proper fix for the whole in the type system named null, while there are some great languages running on JVM solving that.

Whatever problems it has, Java calls the shots on JVM.
