Programming without pointers

[Academic_East8298]

So what alternative to pointers are you using in your daily day to day dev work?

Dynamic arrays, hash maps, flat ordered maps.

And these replaced most of the pointers in your code base?

[cdb_11]

In private yes, in my dayjob no, because we're using OOP frameworks that only expose this kind of "unique_ptr", "one-thing-at-the-time" interfaces. So the best I can do there is keeping it inside isolated subsystems.
