Lots of them. C++, Java, C#, Python...
Python's the only one I know of off the top of my head
that can make it look that clean.
How does Python support "composition OOP"?
Do you mean the ability to define __getattr__?
It doesn't look like a "support"; a user has to do all the work manually.
It' very similar to Lua's ability to define __index.
I like the suggestion to make "a:b.c()" a valid Lua syntax.
But the next question from Sony L. would be the following:
How to save intermediate value in this code
a:b.c()
a:b.d()
to rewrite it in optimized way
local x = a:b
x.c()
x.d()
