    Maybe I would like it to, if I finally would understand "this"

    @Yast2 "this" is easy once you grasp it. Just remember that if you reference "this" in a function, then whatever calling that function will be "this"

    @enitoni So its something like an alias?

    @Yast2 Whenever you need "this" in a function, pass it in a "self" parameter on the function. Then you can access"this". However with ES6 arrow functions, there's no need.

    I like it too. It's unpredictable. That makes feel challanged, makes me think, makes me rant on devRant.

    I like that

    @Yast2 this always refers to the parent of the current context.
