I am totally new to Haskell, so maybe this is a stupid question. Various languages have pointers (or references), for good reason. Haskell can at least partly do without them (they are only existing internally somehow). My question is: Does Haskell principally not need pointers (i.e. in case of 2 data structures needing to reference an other very large data structure) or is this a design flaw or have a overlooked something?
