assigning attributes to self

[madmaniak]

Description

There's neat syntax in Coffeescript:

class Dog
  constructor: (@name) ->

# is equal to:

class Dog
  constructor: (name) ->
    this.name = name

And I miss it here even Imba was forked from Coffeescript years ago.
It could be @ or $ prefix or ! postfix to tell that argument should be assigned to self.

Why

It is repeatable in any object oriented program. I mean assigning attributes to the object
without any modification.

Is this something you're interested in working on?

Yes

This isn't exactly what you're describing, but it might be to your liking:

class Note
	name = 'hello'

let note = new Note(name:'world')

console.log note

[madmaniak]

I receive Note object with property name: 'world'. Previous name 'hello' declaration is class attribute or default object value?

[familyfriendlymikey]

'hello' is the default value. I'm showing that you can pass in custom values by supplying an object as the argument, in this case we're creating a Note and setting name to 'world'.

OK this is constructor only, right?
