As someone who does neither, this piqued my curiosity!

> in PHP T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is the token name for ::, the static separator. It’s Hebrew for double colon.

The rest of the article is an interesting read, but I have no background or opinions… it seems the author and others do not agree it is a good [part of an] error message ;)
