I can't decide if this is a problem or not but the revAvailableHandlers function happily returns information about handlers in a password protected stack without requiring the password. I guess it's not actually showing any code but feels like it should act the same as trying to get the script of

Re: [OT] SWIFT

Swift is going to have an amazingly fast adoption rate. People learned Objective-C to write Apple apps. It’s not really usable for anything else. All those people using Objective-C will switch to Swift for several reasons; it is easier to learn (it has a playground), it is designed to prevent
