> Pointers are scary! 

I've heard this for decades, and I still don't really understand it.
I've never found pointers to be worse than uninitialised variables.
(in fact, I think many problems attributed to pointers are actually 
caused by uninitialised variables).

And the absolute worst is languages that don't require you to declare a 
variable before you use it. That's _really_ scary.
