I always loved that Java has a NullPointerException but doesn't have the concept of pointers in the language (only references).

That is because they planed to add pointers and then gave up.

I mean... they have them. And unsafe. You're just not supposed to use them

C# has NullReferenceException and it actually makes sense.
