Yes, good one. The choice is between 2 sides:

• C-style: all arguments are explicitt.
• C++ style: the 'this' argument is implicit.

Both have advantages:
C: allows developer to name 'this' variable
C: does not beak C model of implicit stuff
C++: less typing

In the end, the not breaking of the C model was the most important one..

The explicit argument is fine, the only thing I'm not sure of is the dot separator because at a glance I read that as accessing a variable.

I've thought of using the :: separator of C++:

Code: [Select]

func void Point::add(Point* p, i32 x) {
   p.x = x;
}
This adds quite a bit of readability for me.
