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?

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)
