That's actually very outdated information. Two of the four pointer types
(&,@,~ and *) were ditched in favor of library solutions.

*T: Raw pointers are still the same
&T: is now called reference, not borrowed pointer
~T: Is now Box<T>
@T: Is now Rc<T> (and possibly Gc<T> although a GC was never implemented)
