Except that in some Lisps where you have multi-methods or generated field accessor methods you'd probably would write it backwards. Maybe like this:
(. (bar foo) ...)
^ cursor is here (. (bar foo) ...)
^ cursor is hereIf you've already typed the form and are just changing the head symbol, you're golden:
(.myMeth| my-object)
If you're using Clojure's threading forms, Cursive understands that:
(-> my-object .myMeth|)
Otherwise, if you're typing out a new form you can do:
(my-object .myMeth|)
(.myMethod my-object |).One correction - this is all done at edit time, not compile time. At compile time there's no issue since all macros are expanded to the core language.
It's just like how SQL decided to write all their queries backwards making it impossible to do good autocomplete.
