This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: So no, I doubt Apple got much (if any) inspiration from Xojo (not being negative, just two vastly different camps)Ī side point I would argue is that it’s not just individual features in isolation that make Swift remind me of Xojo, but the combination together.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests.

I’m talking about form as well as function.Īll those features existed in other languages that predated even RealBasic.

And the syntax of Obj-C is nothing like Xojo or Swift. Obj-C has been through several iterations of memory management / garbage collection schemes over the years, all of them (IMHO) terrible. Most of these have been available in Obj-C for a while. Yes, and I wish we had a more generous edit window on this forum so I could go back and correct my mistake. (I mention this for future readers of this thread.) Remember though, it’s catch err as NilObjectException. Question for Xojo fanatics: How to avoid the (programming) in Xojo? Is just having exception handling the way to do it? In other words, instead of if a nil then I believe that old REALbasic was itself Python-inspired so perhaps the causal chain of design is complicated? Or perhaps computer science is just maturing and the “right way” of doing things is becoming more obvious? I wonder if any of these Swift features were Xojo inspired? Reading through this, I was struck at how many times I said “Oh, just like REALbasic (Xojo) did it years ago…”Ĭlearly REALbasic / Xojo predate Swift by years. I’ve done zero Swift programing but a ton of Xojo programming, and recently was reading the Swift description on Wikipedia: (programming_language)

Sounds like a great hollywood adventure movie, no?
