Forgive me if this has been answered, why 'm' ?

Searching for ‘m’ and ‘this’ seems to, predictably not turn-up very well. :wink:

I was curious why the ‘m’ was chosen to represent what is traditionally ‘this’ in other languages. Is it short for ‘me’?

It is one of the Mysteries of Roku, it seems.
Me, Myself and My Members… Maybe?

I had asked couple of Co insiders but even they had no clue - one proposed it was after somebody’s first name.

“Self” is also a popular - perhaps more popular than “this” - choice in languages. One thing is for sure - “m” is shorter and easier to type. If it were me, i might have chosen underscore “_” as the special variable (so a good thing it wasn’t up to me, ey? we save one Shift press now).
