I'm not so sure. I learned pointers via C++ years before I tackled JS. Though I suspect you mean that the comprehension is similarly difficult, the paradigms are quite different. Visualizing and mentally tracking `this` by scope is aided by the structure of JS (even though it can get hairy with `bind`). Pointers requires a different model of thinking, and it's not one that's native to many languages. I originally came up in the mid-90s with VB3 and it was quite a jump to C++.
