Why don’t these do the same thing? julia> getindex.([[1,2], [3,4]], 1) 2-element Array{Int64,1}: 1 3 julia> [[1,2], [3,4]].[1] ERROR: syntax: invalid syntax "[[1, 2], [3, 4]].[1]"

Why doesn't indexing syntax broadcast?

This syntax doesn’t exist and there are issues around implementation, see the discussion here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/19169
