As Aral says, syntax is syntax. The PHP syntax borrows heavily from
C++ which uses -> and :: notations with objects and classes
respectively. It's not so much reinventing the wheel as just being
influenced by a different third generation language.

I'm a bit of a language geek, and I love the fact that each has its
quirks. That is, with the the possible exception of Python's use of
indentation to denote code blocks. Grrr!
