The link just shows a blank page for me, but eliminating pointers because they're too hard for some people to understand is retarded. Oh well, there's always assembly language.
"Modern C++" is already a pile of shit. The only salvation of C++ today is that you can still use the language language like classic C with some actually useful additional features (although Stroustrup and his short bus companions have always made this harder than it should have been). This is just more motivation for good programmers to look for (or create) alternatives to C++.
They lighter and easier to write code the better. New technologies like block chain development will still rely heavily on languages like C++ so the easier to use the better.

It may have gotten the hug of death. Here's a cached version.

They literally removed the pointer.... So no address to reference to....

You can stick to C.

Memory must be cheap these days.
