in reply to chaining method calls
I'm in the "love it" camp :-)
It reads well to me. I just read "->" as "and then call method" and it makes perfect sense. It's compact, which is good in my book since it allows me to get more "useful" text on my screen when I'm coding.
Never had problems debugging it myself.
It's also similar to the normal Smalltalk idiom so people with that sort of background will find it natural.
