Yep, it's way easier to implement in some other languages. Btw, is it callable as well? Can you do Whatever.new().foo.bar().baz with it?

Nope. Ruby doesn’t support the function call paren syntax for anything other than methods. You could do stuff like Whatever.new().foo.().bar[] though.

foo, bar, and baz are all methods here, so you can use parens.

`.foo.bar` are method calls (parenses are optional in Ruby)
