There is no way to avoind pointers for low level stuff.
If you take a look at any delphi API wrapper code,
pointers to raw buffers and complex structures are all over the place.
Problem with C is that you are forced to use pointers
for trivial string handling, so they use char array on stack for
buffers. It is a order of magnitude easier to inject code
on stack memory than at heap.

Coulnd't it be argues that Delphi applications are more secure? It
seems that most security related problems in software are due to
buffer overruns. Buffer overruns are a big problem in C++ with its
heavy pointer usage while Delphi shields the developer from needing to
use pointers as much.
