Do you just take issue with the specific claim that no language should have pointer arithmetic, or do you disagree with the more general thrust of the post? Sure, it's ranty and, like, maybe closer to op-ed than computer science publication, but I think even among the rarefied breed of people developing your JVM/CPython/V8/Chakra, you could easily find approval for the notion that pointer arithmetic is bad(*) and should be avoided as much as possible.
