Hey There Alan, Good morning & TGIF!
Will admit, the website for FmPro just feels a little sketchy. So, not really sure I can trust it! As for your comments about AI & producing code. I hear ya. But, I have to say - these days - AI is becoming MUCH more sophisticated and its usage is gaining a LOT of traction in lots of different areas. And, it seems to me - that coding is one of the most natural areas to be using it. I have already some of the "hallucinations" in some of the code I have received from AI. But, at times, even Wayne was pleasantly surprised by some of the code generated from AI - including the fact that it was using Long variable names, and variable names that just Make Sense - and also the fact that it was also generating code with Comments built into the code. So, yeah - it's been producing some really good stuff so far. -K ________________________________________ From: ProFox on behalf of Alan Bourke Sent: Friday, April 25, 2025 6:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FmPro Migrator ??? [You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] Yes , definitely heard of it before. To me this problem is sort like when Visual FoxPro appeared and everyone was thinking about upgrading their old FoxPro for Windows\DOS applications, and asking if they could just convert the projects and hey presto. But in the end the answer was usually "yes there are conversion tools but in the long run you will be better off rewriting it". And that was a situation where the language was the same. if your VFP project has good separation of UI and core functionality, with the latter in testable programmatic classes then a tool like this could definitely help move some of the programmatic classes to C#. However personally I wouldn't trust the resultant code at all especially if 'AI' is involved, and I would be making very sure my unit\integration tests were good. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
