Also, do y’all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

    I’ve always found needing to manually add a class instance parameter (i.e. self) to every object method really weird. And the constructors being named __init__. Not having multiple dispatch is kinda annoying too. Needing to use decorators for class methods, static methods, and abstract classes is also annoying. Now that I think about it, Python kinda sucks (even though it’s the language I use the most, lol).

      Nah self is quite important. The main part of a method is to access the state of the object. self is just the interface to it.

        Guess I just prefer languages that do it this way:

        class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod() {
    aProp++
  }
}

        Though I suppose confusion and bugs can happen when you do something like:

        class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod(aProp: Int) {
    // `this.aProp` is needed to access the property
  }
}
