It is as if we don't learn! Same thing in Rust. :: is adds so much visual noise.

Julia is the only modern language with beautiful syntax. I think we should pay more attention to the aesthetics of a language just like we do with spoken languages. Certain languages just sound beautiful - Japanese and French.

C++ is old but Rust could have paid more attention to subjective aspects of a language.

You've managed to pick the two languages whose sound irritates me the most, which I think illustrates the fragility of this kind of thinking perfectly.
