Errr, no. Python, Java, Javascript and Ruby all have pointers. Probably
erlang as well, but I don't know that one yet, and possibly Perl for
some meaning of the word "pointer". Not Haskell or Tcl, because they're
both value-only languages, in essence.
Also lacking pointers: FORTRAN, COBOL, APL. :-) Seeing a pattern here?

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
