Thanks, TIL! Obviously I have no experience in Nim. This convention reminds me of Perl, which works much the same way. How is it possible, then, to call a function that lives in a different namespace as part of a dot-chain of methods? The Elixir approach does not rely on currying; like much of the language's fancy parts, it's a macro.

Nim generally doesn't use namespaces, so… that's how. I didn't even know Elixir had macros…

  Elixir is a homoiconic language with hygienic macros. Macros are a great tool when you need them!
