There are some competitive programming bootcamps they must be teaching it.

And in higher level languages we can't directly access pointers but we generally use the concept of a reference, which is mostly implicit. So I guess going by the language is good enough. Pointers are really powerful in C and C++ but in Python or JS, we don't care a lot about them, pioneers of these languages don't want us to be bother about it.
