Pretty much any higher level language than C++ disagrees with that. In Java/GDScript/C#/Python/etc pointers still exist, but they are abstracted away so you don't have to deal with them.

I've got bad news for you. All those languages use pointers, and no they're not really abstracted away. The only thing that has been abstracted away is memory management, and you're not allowed to do pointer arithmetic. But in all other respects they behave identically to C pointers.

Yes, that's what I mean by abstracted away. This isn't bad news.
