New IDE: code bubbles

If only there was some combinator for sequencing computations... then you could write:

   foo >>= bar >>= baz >>= quux

and there would never be a NullPointerException, because the >>= function could react appropriately when null was encountered!

You win at the "Most Subtle Haskell Reference" in this conversation.

Since I don't know haskell, I'll throw out that groovy does this too.

foo?.bar()?.baz?.quux

What other languages have this kind of shortcut?

Since coffeescript was mentioned, the Ruby andand library is also frequently mentioned when this comes up. (I only ruby for Rake).
