No thanks. I tried to figure out that double colon nonsense over a decade ago as part of an OOP development team. I still don't understand most of the code written during those two years, even though I still maintain parts of it. All I see is a lot of unnecessary overhead with no significant return on the investment. I'll stick with the tried and true procedural notation, at least until I retire next year.
