You may have made a mistake linking to this page for Rust; as the URL says, it's a backup: the only ones that exist today are *, &, and ', and the former work the same way they do in other systems languages. (With the exception that & is borrow checked but like, it's a pointer inside, same exact deal.)

We in fact removed these sigils from Rust because user feedback was extremely negative about them, and ' still gets a lot of complaints. Nobody has come up with something better though.
