Is "new" removed from AHK2? Topic is solved

[madsounds]

I've just launched this code on AHK2

Code: Select all

class MyClass
{
	__New( important_variable )
	{
		this.important_variable := important_variable
	}
}
myobj := new MyClass( 'test' )
MsgBox myobj.important_variable

And it says, "Call to nonexisting function", on the line myobj := new MyClass( 'test' ).

So is "new" really removed form AHK2 and I should call MyClass.New() instead?

Okay... Maybe somebody knows why?

• redundant
• simplifies parsing
• couldnt be used with shorthand syntax functions

I outlined some reasons in Class.md.
