Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

Nah self is quite important. The main part of a method is to access the state of the object. self is just the interface to it.

Guess I just prefer languages that do it this way:

class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod() {
    aProp++
  }
}

Though I suppose confusion and bugs can happen when you do something like:

class AClass {
  var aProp = 0

  fun aMethod(aProp: Int) {
    // `this.aProp` is needed to access the property
  }
}
