Ah yes, silly me. What about %prop or $prop? When it’s something you have to do a lot, repeatedly typing `this.` can be a pain. There’s definitely a case for it as many other languages use it.

In CoffeeScript (and a few other languages including Ruby I believe), there is a syntax shortcut for simplifying accessing properties on the current context (this variable), which is something you have to do often. This looks something like `@prop`, which is synonymous with `this.prop`. I’m not sure if the “@“ character is used for anything else yet in JavaScript, but I’m sure we could find another character to do the same if it is. -- Nathaniel Higgins Sent with Airmail _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
