The asterisks in leshow's comment are being lost in the formatting, since HN uses them for italicization. So the last line, for example, is:

    The rust book even refers to *const and *mut pointers as types.

I really can't believe how stupid people can be to say "const" is a type. Even if Klabnik will say it into my face it will not be true, I don't care about the book he wrote.

leshow said that

    *const u32

is a type, not that 'const' is a type. HN's formatting removed the asterisk, as it uses asterkisks for italicization.
