Why? What exactly do you think you're saving by not putting the
instance in a variable? I can't think of one good reason to do this.
its an esthetic thing; and besides the simple factory method is an
easy workaround to achieve it.
as the article that, Eric, posted mentioned, other languages have
such support; ie javascript:
function Test() {}
Test.prototype = { doSomething : function() { alert('hello'); } }
^^ !!!! prototypal not class-based inheritance, orange meet apple.
new Test().doSomething();
besides which this is a dereferenced call and not method chaining,
if you want method chaining in JS you'll have to do extra work (i.e. use
'return this;')
different strokes or something.
this is along the lines of the whole returnAnArray()['someIndex'] thing,
fortunately in this case, theres a workaround in userspace ;)
