In the original discussion in this list, a couple alternatives similar to the following were suggested for property access to remain closer to the Clojure situation: (set! (.:id foo) "my-css-id")) (set! (.:fillStyle ctxt) "rgb(255, 150, 0)") Were those thrown out for being too ugly? - Mark On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 9:19 PM, David Nolen <dnolen.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry I didn't copy my perspective over here from clojure-dev as someone > who's been working as a JavaScript dev for the past 6 years > ----- > > > The proposed change is not optimal and I think it clashes with the realities > of JavaScript interop. > (.property foo) > Currently gives us a notion of "place", that means we can set it: > (set!
