In all major programming languages we access object properties and methods using dot(.). C#: Abc Abc = new Abc(); Abc.method(); Java: Abc Abc = new Abc(); Abc.method(); JavaScript: var apple = new function() {
     this.name = "Test";
} alert(apple.name()); Why not to make PHP similar to these languages by allowing to access object properties and methods using dot(.)
to gain what?
We will still
who is "we"
keep "->" until PHP 8 to maintain backward compatibility
and then force to rewrite every single piece of code out there? that's a "have a solution and seeking for the problem"
