[go-nuts] Why Go opt for using * in signature of function that returns a pointer instead of using &?

[Matheus Fassis Corocher]

I was studying about pointers and struct in Golang and one thing that I 
don't understand is why using * in return of signature of function instead 
of & if the return of function is an address of variable?

The correct version that works:

func NewVertex(X, Y int) **Vertex* {
  ...
  return &Vertex{X, Y}
}

The version in my mind should be correct:

func NewVertex(X, Y int) *&Vertex* {
  ...
  return &Vertex{X, Y}
}
