I've just merged to ClojureScript master the new property lookup syntax as outlined in the ticket http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJS-89 and the design page at http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Unified+ClojureScript+and+Clojure+field+access+syntax. This is a potentially *breaking* change to existing ClojureScript apps. To help mitigate moving to the new syntax, the ClojureScript compiler will print a warning any time it encounters a dot call in the form of (.foo obj) or (. obj foo). This is a temporary warning and due for removal sometime before ClojureScript comes out of alpha. For those curious, the change is summarized as follows:
(.p o) ;=> a method call (.m o <args>) ;=> a method call (. o p) ;=> a method call (. o p <args>) ;=> a method call (. o (m)) ;=> a method call (. o (m <args>)) ;=> a method call (. o -p) ;=> a property access (.-p o) ;=> a property access ClojureScript will now stick strictly to these semantics. As an added bonus the latest Clojure alpha release (1.4.0-alpha4) contains a *non- breaking* addition to Clojure to allow the same kind of property- specific access syntax. Nothing else regarding Clojure's dot interop form has changed. I will take it on myself to update the ClojureScript One source code to see if there are any further complications to migration that I might have missed. I will report my findings in this thread.
