You can assert anything, and you can stand by it, but that does not make
it so. Please give some idea of why you think this. It seems plainly obvious
to me that you can do full object oriented programming without pointers, and
indeed I find pointers and OO to be pretty much orthogonal concepts, and so
it is not surprising that they are orthogonal language features.
Yes, closures need pointers, but we don't need closures for many kinds of
OO programming!
