In aggregate this looks like a godsend, but there are some examples (like foo?.:method) that looks atrocious.

Yeah, "?." as safe navigation operator even in JS where it already exists is eye-sore. They could use some other single character instead of two characters. Question mark is already doing a lot with ternaries etc.
Instead of obj?.:method?.(…) it would be like obj#:method#(…)
Replace # with your favorite extra character instead of questionmark.
Is there any reason why they're not considering a single '?' like rust? Is it a parsing issue?
So you'd have: obj?:method(…)
Mike Pall wrote in the issue that it's easier to parse. If they get rid of the ternary operator, I'll ask him again to drop the period.
