A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

i just fixed an issue in our codebase where the browser complained that `asDynamic()` does not exist on `tmp$`. How is that even possible? shouldn't `asDynamic()` be inlined?

Most likely it was invoked on `dynamic`. For example `10.asDynamic().asDynamic()` translates to `10.asDynamic()` The rule "&lt;dynamic&gt;.bar translates to &lt;dynamic&gt;.bar" takes precedence here.

ah i see. Is that an issue for your point of view? at least for me it's surprising :smile:

I would prefer a visual cue for dynamic members, e.g. a.asDynamic().*asDynamic()*. In my opinion having dynamic members look different would solve this issue, highlight potentially unsafe code and potentially discourage people from abusing those.

Although I would agree that solving the "why doesn't `asDynamic()` go away" is more important than addressing "why do I have to write `a["asDynamic"]()` instead of `a.asDynamic()`"
