JavaScript

Could someone write about the usage of this in JavaScript? It's a tricky little creature... From the little I understand, it's sort of dynamic. this could mean different things depending on how the code was accessed/called.

PHP

In PHP, this and self exist but represent different things. Because of polymorphism, a this pointer can change; however, self retains reference to the current class so static self-referential calls may be made. See: NiX0n 16:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

C++ -> Java?

Java wasn't derived from C++, they were both derived from C! User:billylikeswikis 1:53pm, 08/08/08 (GMT) Java is written in C++ therefore it was derived from C++. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.190.157.41 (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Python is written in C, so is it derived from C? No! --220.142.130.191 (talk) 11:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
