You're remark of function chaining reminded me of a nice feture that a few OOP
languages provide:
// pseudo syntax
auto obj = new Object();
obj foo() ; bar() ; goo()
foo, bar and goo above are three mesages (methods) that are sent to the same
object. i.e. it's the same as doing:
obj.foo();
obj.bar();
obj.goo();
this means the functions can return void instead of returning this like you'd
do in C++/D. I think it provides a cleaner conceptual separation between
multiple messages sent to one object and real chaining when foo returns obj2
which then receives message bar and so on.
This has to be flame-bait for sure! :-)
