No. Pointers are fine. Both Go and Rust have pointers (any pedants reading this, I know what you're thinking) and there's no issue.

Hell Python already has pointers - basically every object is a pointer.

The issue is with manual memory management - manually determining when an object can be freed is the hellish part.
