Chaining methods failed on coffeescript

server1.coffee

http = require 'http'
http.createServer (req, resp) ->
  resp.writeHead 200
  resp.end 'Hi !'
.listen 1337, '127.0.0.1'

server2.coffee

require 'http'
.createServer (req, resp) ->
  resp.writeHead 200
  resp.end 'Hi !'
.listen 1337, '127.0.0.1'

server1.coffee worked but why did server2.coffee get the error below, 

TypeError: Object http has no method 'createServer'

It chains on 'http', which is a string.

You'd need parentheses around the whole require 'http' expression if you want it evaluated properly in chaining syntax.
