I totally agree. My first language was C64 Basic and my second language was Assembly. After I learned 80286 Assembly, object orientation was a punch in my face: I was taught not to mix code with data, just to learn otherwise afterwords. What is complicated in C++ is not the pointers subject, but pointers mixed with classes and namespaces. Java is sweet as it does not have explicit pointers. Plain C is sweet as it does not have classes nor namespaces. C++ is a hell.
