Pointers and a single equal sign on if comparisons cause the vast majority of problems in "C". You can certainly write an OS without pointers; however, the question of efficiency becomes very big. Efficiency both in execution and in development. In my mind, pointers provide a level of flexibility that is essential for a lot of projects. Errant pointers are not a problem if you use appropriate debugging techniques. Most compilers will warn about a single equal sign comparison if it is atypical for the context. While I believe Java/JBuilder will be a success, there are many applictions for which it will never be suitable -- at least not in anything approaching its current form.
