Expanding on my earlier comment a bit, - Open Source, and compilable on all reasonable targets
To explain and expand a little bit, I use languages like Python, PHP, Ruby and scripting languages like bash, and... They Just Work. In a console in Linux, on Windows, on Mac. On a Chromebook, on a Raspberry Pi. On a NAS box. On a big-endian CPU. On my router. On a RISC chip. On my rooted AppleTV. On a little-endian chip. It Just Works. That's "normal." That's what computer languages do. The idea that there is a proprietary language that only runs on one OS, which only runs on one CPU family, which is all controlled by one manufacturer, well, that's foolish. What if you need it to run somewhere else, like a Snapdragon chip on your phone? Or the new weather station you're building? Or to control your solar panel battery charger? Well, then, clearly, FoxPro is not the language for you. Which is too bad, because it is an awfully fun language to work in.
