You should attend a "No Pointers, Great Programs" tutorial :-)

The whole problem with pointers is that languages (incorrectly) mix 
_allocation_ and _reference_ in them. Every complex design has 
referential needs (names). A pointerless approach tries to insolate that 
from the allocation troubles.
