Also lacking pointers: FORTRAN, COBOL, APL. :-) Seeing a pattern here?

Actually, FORTRAN kinda does have pointers.

You can dereference a COMMON block by redeclaring things to be in a different order or type.

One of the annoying mistakes used to be to have two different incompatible COMMON blocks that the system will happily let pass and cause you all manner of nightmares.
