Or just
thing.age()which is fine and is fairly obvious it will return the age of the thing. And that is what is done in most languages that dont have computed properties.get_on a method really adds no value nor clarity to things. The only reasonfoo()is ambiguous is because it is a bad name - really just a place holder. Missing out the brackets here adds no value either, just makes it hard to tell that you are calling a function instead of just accessing a property.
