This is a quick and dirty release for interested parties. I found it very 
useful when working with angularjs. The syntax should not change that much 
but there will be more documentation in the future. I would love to have 
some input into additional features that could be added.

Excerpt from Github: https://github.com/zcaudate/purnam

Installation

In your project file, add

[purnam "0.0.9"]

Why?

Because the javascript dot-notation is awesome and the 
javascript/clojurescript interop (aget aset, .<fn> and .-<prop>accessors) 
make for really ugly code. Using the language-extension macros, 
clojurescript becomes more than twice as concise when working with existing 
javascript libraries (I'm mainly working with angularjs).

So the use case can be seen below:
<https://github.com/zcaudate/purnam#getters>Getters:

## javascript (12 keystrokes):
object.a.b.c    

## clojurescript (45 keystrokes):
(-> object
  (aget "a")
  (aget "b")
  (aget "c"))

## clojurescript + purnam (16 keystrokes):
(? object.a.b.c)

<https://github.com/zcaudate/purnam#setters>Setters:

## javascript (17 keystrokes):
object.a.b.c = 10    

## clojurescript (48 keystrokes):
(-> object
  (aget "a")
  (aget "b")
  (aset "c" 10))

## clojurescript + purnam (19 keystrokes):
(! object.a.b.c 10)

<https://github.com/zcaudate/purnam#functions>Functions:

These are really bad examples of code but its what usually happens when 
working with existing javascript libraries. Using the dot-notation can save 
alot of screen and head space:

## javascript (~100 chars):
var bad_code = function(obj, val){
  obj.inner.number = 10;
  val.inner.count = obj.inner.count + 10;}    

## clojurescript (~180 chars):
(defn bad-code [obj val]
  (-> obj (aget "inner") (aset "number" 10))
  (-> val 
      (aget "inner") 
      (aset "count"
            (+ 10 (-> obj (aget "inner") (aget "count")))))
  nil)

## clojurescript + purnam (~110 chars):
(def.n bad-code [obj val]
  (! obj.inner.number 10)
  (! val.inner.count 
     (+ 10 obj.inner.count)) 
  nil)
