This is how PHP refers to :: internally, it's the only fucking token with such a weird name, what is this fucking language?

Who is writing this shit? OOP but it's completely optional? Where is the goddamn sheriff? I'm done, off to Ruby, Python, Go or anything that's not fucking PHP. Sick of this shit. Fuck this language.

How can such a massive language be so poorly designed!?

@Letmecode super cool info! Regarding OP comment of PHP being a poorly design language: PHP was not "designed" nor was intended as a language. The community brought it to what it is today. And when I look at php7.1 and the plans for the next releases, I see people who are doing an humongous effort to bring PHP up, while still being backwards compatible. That is laudable. So, there are normal people trying to help others. No sheriff. More like a meritocracy of sorts: he who works on the core gets to vote on the core :)

Well, Python is optionally OOP too :/ I don't see how it's a problem? At least, that's not the real problem of PHP

@Letmecode I know it's the Hebrew term but everything else is English so why is this one token in Hebrew? What sense does that make to you? There's simply no care in the development of php it feels like a complete free for all, I know it has far more sinister issues than that, but this one doesn't even make sense
