In addition to that: you can do it, but you don't need to as in C/C++. 
You can program entirely without pointers.

So does D solves this problem? I'd say yes if the problem is that in 
C/C++ it is too easy to crash an application.

I very rarely have bugs in my little programs that make for a crash. 
More importantly, if I do have a crash it is obvious that I have messed 
up bigtime and can repair the bug quickly. (within minutes, without a 
debugger).
