I feel like I've seen source code that reads like this.

Not sure if this is what you're referring to but I created a programming language after a late night discussion I had with my housemate who was studying this a few years ago. The idea was to give the sentence a syntactic meaning as well..

http://bfalo.com/ and github project https://github.com/bfalo/buffalo-lang

It was also a good excuse to learn about tokenization, compilers & interpreters.

Wow that's as close as it gets to the original article.

I was thinking of something more general like:

    foo = foo.foo("foo");

(And yes the reassignment is intentional as the returned object isn't necessarily the same as the caller.)
