Both zig and go use the dot operator, but I find the ‘::’ operator much more readable.
Vec::new();
Makes it clear that were accessing a static method belonging to the Vec struct/namespace.
Vec.new()
Makes it seem like Vec is an object with a ‘new’ method.
Am I alone in thinking this?
The rust devs agreed with you…
I used to only use C#, and I liked the simplicity of only using one symbol to access any prop/field/method. But now I’ve used Rust for a while I do prefer separating the two for the same reasons you mentioned.
So no, you’re not alone. Even cross-lang!
C++ was my language of choice for a long time, but I can’t say I’m with you on this one. If I’m going to use Vec, I had better know what it is already. Littering the code with a special double-glyph operator when a dot would do is just needless noise to me.
(I won’t criticize you for liking it, though. Cheers.)
Anything is fine as long as it’s not an arrow (I’m looking at you, PHP)

C is the cool grandpa of today’s programming languages so he can get away with this
Nobody would cry if it disappeared tomorrow though
I don’t understand the C++ hate. I’m definitely biased since I learned it before anything else, but the flow of the code and the object-oriented principles just make sense to me. And yeah, I appreciate the scope resolution operator a lot.
