people disagree and say Java or even VB is the way to go.
Isn't Java pretty much EXACTLY like C++, except without pointers (and some other, less significant differences). That is, from a programmer's perspective. I suppose the JVM and bytecode are also differences. If so, why wouldn't you want pointers? I find it hard to imagine programming a game without pointer-based structures like Linked lists.
I'm a student. If my statements seem too absolute, feel free to coat them with "In my opinion..." or "I believe...".
