The object operator -> is a PHP thing which is what Laravel is written in. The arrow operator -> exists in C/C++ too, it's used to access the members of the structure or the unions using pointers.

Why does Laravel use -> instead of just a dot?
It just occurred to me this evening that it's annoying having to use two keystrokes each time when a "dot" would be perfectly sufficient. I use C# in My day job and the dot notation there seems more natural.

Also linq has
var entity = db.Invoice.Where(x => x.InvoiceID == vinvoiceid).First();
Not arrow but still not all dots.
