It's still static in the sense that the method is tied to a class, not to an object instance. Does that mean it's "less" static? I wouldn't say so.

- quietbritishjim 6y agoWell then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree :-) It's less static than a method dependent on the object instance, but more static than a method that doesn't even depend on the class. If I've understood correctly (which I quite possibly haven't, in fairness), these are analogous to Python's static methods, class methods and regular methods, and its static methods really are the "most" static.
