I find this very human-friendly: "[double colon] permits vectors to be defined inline without additional syntax such as [ ... ] or { ... }."

(One could question how human friendly it is to call lists and dicts "vectors" though...)

It's especially clear in the "inline dict" example. I really like it!

  props:: mime_type: "text/html", encoding: "gzip" # Inline dict.

But that's not done for human readability, that's done for machine parsing? A human would understand just as well:

  props: mime_type: "text/html", encoding: "gzip" # Inline dict.

My mind has a feeling that this might be possible interpretation:

    props: [mime: [html, encoding:[gzip]]]

(Even if not legal, to be sure, I must backtrack and concentrate on this particular piece)

There are many different humans. I definitely like the idea to separate “:: vs :”.

For me, it’s clearer with a double colon. Not intuitive, but extremely easy to get used to. When I see the first colon introduce a list, I have to go out of my way to not see the other colons as introducing lists.
