Hi John,
I believe that it would be a trivial task for current static code analyzers to restrict usage of "this" for anyone opting in to use this new keyword exclusively.
Static tooling, like the TypeScript compiler, can detect problematic method usage already today. Sure, having a dedicated syntax for this will make static analysis simpler, but I don't deem that a worthy addition to the language.
As you mentioned, arrow functions might have their own problems. Wouldn't such an alternative keyword be a good addition to our toolkit anyway?
What I was trying to say is that your proposed alternative has exactly the same problems as instance-member arrow functions have today. Best regards, Bergi _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
