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?

    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.
