Static variables in methods are static to all class instances?

[catb0t]

PHP has this as intended behaviour, I was just wondering if this is also intentional for Sidef (I don't use it anyway, but I can see why it might be useful).

class StaticVar {
  method get_next {
    static var i = 0
    i++
  }
}

var a = StaticVar()
var b = StaticVar()

say a.get_next # => 0
say a.get_next # => 1
say a.get_next # => 2

say b.get_next # => 3
say b.get_next # => 4
say b.get_next # => 5

If it's intentional, do you think you will keep it in the future class-rewrite?

Yes, this is intentional in Sidef too.

Most likely.

For separate counters on different object, we have:

class Example {
    has i = 0
    method get_next {
        i++
    }
}
