Do you known SmallTalk?
1.- in smalltalk this references the message (method) destinator.
Object myInstance = new Object();
myInstance.message() {
// this: references to myInstance object
// super: used to call instance methods from superclass
}
2.- in smalltalk every Class is instance of their MetaClass (class are
instances)
MyClass.staticMethod() {
// this: reference MyClass
// super: reference MyClass.getSuperClass()
}
Currently Groovy language define this on static method as Class that define
that method
class MySubClass extends MyClass { ... }
MySubClass.staticMethod() => this references allways to Myclass but must reference to MySubClass (the message destinator)
