nah, I'm never complaining about self in Python after having tried the this and that nonsense in JS.

oh, you're using a named function instead of an arrow fn? Guess what, this is not what it used to be anymore.

[–] kayohtie@pawb.social 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wait there's a "that"???

[–] theit8514@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only if you define it.

const that = this

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember that a long time ago. Oh god

I remember this too... what a nightmare.

it's common practice as a workaround to save this when changing contexts, since this may change under you, in callbacks and such

Kotlin:

this@outerFunction.bla

Oh, you assigned a method to a variable before calling it? Congratulations, this is now undefined.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. There's no telling what this is. this could be anything. We tried to keep track of this, but no one knows when this will change.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

I used to be with this, but then they changed what this was.

Now what I'm with isn't this, and what's this seems weird and scary to me.

This'll happen to you!

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah totally agree.

As a non-programmer who's occasionally dabbled with wxPython, I've entangled myself with self.parent.parent and their childs/siblings more than once. At that stage I know my project is done.
