Agreed, this is because you're not allowed to send messages to a partially
constructed object.
Solutions may be:
1) the 'val _ = ...' I suggested should be evaluated after all others
member initializations. [self] can then be safely bound inside the right part.
Pro: the 'val _' is like any other val, i.e it contains code evaluated
at object creation time.
Cons: the 'val _' is the only member where self is bound.
2) as you suggested it, a constructor method can do the job
(either named [init] or [my_class], the later would recall C++ ...).
Pro: self is bound in the 'method init = ...' as it is for all methods.
Cons: the 'init' method is called at object creation time, and you should not
be allowed to call it directly.
3) Any other idea ?
But for sure, constructors are an usefull idiom !
