    Same for C, & yields a pointer to a value, and * allows you to access the data. (For rust people, a pointer is like a reference with looser type checking)

      We have pointers in Rust, too :) see documentation

        I doubt many people have ever use that or any of the other low level memory API. The main appeal of rust is not having to do that.
