C/C++, Java, Python, Haskell, Lisp and their derivatives, PHP, etc.

C/C++ are the only languages in this list to support pointer arithmetic, which is a different problem from the one discussed above.

I think the goal is not to get rid of pointers, but to contain the effects they have on language design.
