Ok, I got it now. Thanks. My faulty understanding.

I believe you have a clean, readable syntax for C declarations.

The Go Programming Language's declaration syntax is very similiar, except that "star" is retained and acts just as your "&"

I don't have a complete list, but have been looking at classifying programming languages into one of 2 categories:

Category 1 declaration syntax: Type identifier ;

or

Category 2 declaration syntax: identifier Type ; with perhaps a colon or other punctuation between the identifier and Type.
