The big lesson here is EIBTI
The class sugar discussion in the last few days didn't seem to go too
far but I was thinking about EIBTI in relation to "this". Automatic
variables like "this" and "arguments" are quite uncomfortable. For the
example of a point class, what about
class Point (self, x, y) {
That formal parameter list doesn't match the actual arguments supplied
to the constructor.
// ...
}
Has this idea been kicked around for ES classes?
Mark M. sketched an idea for lexical "this" where the declarative
syntax went something like:
class C(x,y) {
...
private self {
function m1(a,b) { /* use "self" to denote receiver */ ... }
function m2(c) { /* ditto */ ... }
...
}
}
I may have misremembered, but Mark will follow up if so. This was
during a discussion of private vs. public.
