Method call syntax

In Andy C++, you can call a function as a method on its first argument. You get method-style syntax without defining member functions.

fn add(x, y) {
  return x + y;
}

// Normal function call
print(add(3, 5));

// Method-like syntax
print(3.add(5));

Both forms do the same thing.

Implicit call

You can also omit () when you call a 0-ary function.

let input = "some text\nsome more text";
let lines = input.lines;

Examples

let l = [50, 40, 20, 40, 10];

// A plain function-call version
let x = reduce(map(sorted(l), fn(x) => x + 5), fn(a, b) => a * b);

// The same code with method call syntax
let y = l.sorted
         .map(fn(x) => x + 5)
         .reduce(fn(a, b) => a * b);
