In many programming languages it's the "indirect access" operator. You use it when you have a pointer to a record (or "struct") type and wish to access its members.

In turing it's often used with classes.

code:
class A
    export say

    procedure say
        put "hello"
    end say
end A

var c : pointer to A

new A, c

c -> say
