There will be 2 kinds of pointers:

Raw pointers, for manual memory management e.g. func someFunc(ptr: *String)
References, which are reference counted pointers and deallocate memory when the reference count reaches 0. E.g. func someFunc(ptr: &String). & = immutable reference &! = mutable reference

Everything else is passed by value
