There is already a 'this' but it's called 'self..
Prototype: make object! [
constructor: func [ new-name /local new-object ][
append myObjs new-object:
make self [ name: new-name ]
return new-object
]
name: ""
]
object: prototype/constructor "name"
The names in the block can be obtained by:
object: first myObjs
object/name
or even more attributes...
object/size...
or traversing the objects...
foreach object myObjs [ probe object/name ]
