I am fascinated with D's module static this.
I have shamelessly stolen Ali's code directly from his book.
module cat;
static this() {
// ... the initial operations of the module ...
}
static ~this() {
// ... the final operations of the module ...
}
First, are there any other languages that has this feature? The
few I know, certainly don't.
And how would you compare and contrast these this(s) with those
of structs and classes?
Like, are they especially good for certain D idioms, particular
cases, or are they good in general?
Thirdly, can anyone point to existing code for good examples.
I searched on github for "static this" and 10,499 results were
returned :)
