Meanwhile, I love pointers :P . How else is one supposed to, for example, share an array between threads?

Not that they aren't complicated…

For sure, all would be lost without them. I ride on the back of pointers, blissfully unaware of them in muh high level languages.

It's a mechanism in low level languages like c or c++ that let's you refer to memory addresses/locations directly. If you mess it up your app or whole system crashes.
