Hi Axel,
We should probably hold off on private and static member syntax until
there's consensus on the other open issues:
- "constructor" vs. "new" (Dave and I say "new", Allen says "constructor";
mostly aesthetic - can be put off for now)
- class-side inheritance? (Mark and I say no, Allen and Russell say yes)
- What restrictions for RHS of "extends"? Must it be a constructor?
(Russell and I say yes)
Additionally, I'm still worried about how we call the superclass
constructor:
new() {
// do arbitrary stuff here
super(...);
}
This would potentially allow a superclass instance method to be called
before the superclass initialization has completed. If we want to maintain
the invariant (as it seems most class-based languages do) that methods can
only be called after initialization has completed, then this won't work.
Thoughts?
