At this point, I don’t think it is a secret that Xojo’s worst enemy is itself. Without declares and Ptrs, this limits the capabilities of the application to only what they permit. Not only that, but I bet they still use a massive built with some other language dylib to accomplish functionality. The…

[image] samRowlands: Just remember, your brain is mutable :slight_smile: It was declared as ‘var’ and not ‘let’ (or ‘const’ in Xojo terms). Some brains were declared as Nil … :roll_eyes:
