Is there a more succint syntax to call methods of javascript objects?

[Chanwoo Yoo]

Hello.

During my trial to use lispyscript, I found method call of javascript object is somewhat verbose.

If 'obj' is a javascript object, calling its method is easy: (obj.method)

However, if you want to call a method from newly created object, it needs to be written like this in lispyscript: (-> (new Sound) (.play))

I tried '(.play (new Sound))' but it didn't work because it translates to '(new Sound).play', not '(new Sound).play()'

It seems that '(.property obj)' is proper, but '(.method obj)' is not in lispyscript.

I tried ((new Sound).play) also, but it obviously didn't work.

I think '(-> (new Obj) (.method))' is somewhat verbose to call just a method and I surely miss something. Is there any other terse syntax for this in lispyscript?

Thanks in advance.

(.play (new Sound))  => (new Sound()).play;

The above yields a method.

Call the method by wrapping in an expression again.

((.play (new Sound)))  => (new Sound()).play();

Hope this helps.
