Pointer are unnifficient

All BCPL/ALGOL are great. But, their is a problem with them. Pointers. They suck, are unneeded, but... the creators did not use string heavy machines, so did not find a reason to rid of pointers. Heck, in other languages, I can do what a pointer does in less code! yes, I am saying that pointers are stupid. Most of you will say that pointers are useful, but, in my opinion, they are useful because they are used to go AROUND BCPL/ALGOL based language''s limitations. In plenty of languages, I have rarely seen pointers used. But, I will say that pointers also confuse new users. They confuse and too omplicated. Now, then, my grammar may be bad, but I can still catch rebuttals. One is that ''Well, why don''t you change it yourself?'' well, I''m just stating an idea. I don''t have to do so. And for you idiots who would make fun without a good reason, please, save your crap for another topic. Now then, how do redo pointers? Rid of them.

((CListaExpedientes*)((CTabsView*)MF->GetSplitter()->GetPane(0,1))->GetPropSheet()->GetPage(1))->UpdateTab();

Just a line from my latest code, I am being paid for this

I am not saying this is the best way, but hey! they want the project to be finished in 3 months starting from scratch, if it does the work I am happy.

insert here everything everyone said about machine language using pointers almost exclusively, and what they said about passing a pointer to a function rather than a huge array being more effcient
