From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That sounds odd. That also means that a mapper, command, service,... can never return a class object or entity. Most of the programming world is based on oop o.O
Keep in mind im not talking about the usage of pointers, but reference typed variables.
Oh sure, I'm still learning so I thought you meant references as in pointers like in C++. But also, Rust isn't a strictly object oriented language either. It shares a lot of similar features, but they aren't all the typical way you'd do things in an OOP language. You should check out the chapter of the Rust book for ownership.
