With all this ranting and raving about the evils of pointer arithmetic
in C, do people realise that it may not have been possible to implement
C++ in C (i.e. cfront translator) without using these evil pointers?
Futhermore, how come C is rapidly becoming the most popular 
application implementation language in the world if it is sooo evil?
In fact, most PC applications (Lotus 1-2-3, Foxbase+, Wordperfect etc...)
are being written in C!!!
I say, like capitalism, let the market (users) decide the going price
(favourite language) for the product.
Remember that Ada, despite DOD funding, is languishing! I daresay that even
Forth, an entirely user driven language, is more popular. 
(No disrespect to Forth whatsoever)
