In the Netherlands, there's an entire generation of people coming out of school that haven't even touched C or C++. Many schools and universities have standardized on Java and/or C#.
I've met many people who can otherwise program more than well enough, but don't know pointers, and when required to use them, they actually don't "get it". They get confused like hell.
I found that quite strange, but it seems that pointers are slowly becoming a thing of the past, except for very low level coding.
