I agree with that and would not want to see braces and semicolons go because they are pretty conventional. In this case Python and Javascript/Typescript are the outliers. It's the opposite for the double colon syntax which, apart from Rust, to the best of my knowledge only exists in C++ (for good reasons) and some functional languages for a completely different purpose. Honestly curious question: What fallout would you see from replacing it with a dot in Rust. I immediately see no disambiguation issues, but I'm not a compiler writer.
