Go has no notion of "reference type". And pointer types are just that pointers. Never think about pointer types as reference types. There are values and pointers to values. Slices are a bit complicated: Please read https://blog.golang.org/go-slices-usage-and-internals carefully. It explains everything you need to know better than I could do here.
