Positive, while working with pointers should be avoided, when you have no choice it’s better for them to be as easy as possible to minimise errors, even if we can’t eliminate them completely (since that’s the risk with pointers).

Yes. While the conversion is trivial, it’s annoying, and essentially involves redundant types, so it’s better to eliminate them entirely.

Yes. While Swift tries to avoid pointers, when they are needed they should be as simple and uncluttered as possible.

Quick skim, but it’s pretty self-explanatory.
