Just a slight difference, VFP is still alive.

Thierry,
You are correct. It is too theoretical I let my Christmas wish list get the
better of me.

Alan,
For my tastes I find both Lianja and XSharp a little expensive, however it
might well be justified as they need to run a business and develop a
product.

In the case of Google I think this was an honest to God look at the tech
and the decision that it was better than Dart (Google's own version). I
have to say it is a very impressive language, because it accommodates both
strong and weak typing. So you can do things like import jQuery and get

Well, all this is too theoritical for me to contribute in any useful way.
All I know is the level of difficulty to properly parse a language; eg.
VFP, we did some parsing for FAA; very difficult to make it structured,
maintainable and reliable on the whole spread of cases. Transpiling

If anyone is just looking for VFP syntax in a more modern paradigm,
Lianja and XSharp are right there.

Interesting discussion thanks for your input.
In my opinion, we have stagnated because the evolution of the community
requires a roadmap that provides something that the old path could not do.
Tech has moved on. I appreciate Chen's work but in my mind the future of
coding is in a combination of Ob

Rather than small, I would say that the number of leaders is small,

Hi Paul,
Good news, if Googles enters the dance, Typescript is on good tracks to
become a standard; good job Microsoft, there must have been a lot of
negotiations behind the scene.
However, I saw quite a bunch of open source projects in the JavaScript
world that were frozen because the autho
Being open source means that in theory yes, but the open source world is
littered with half-finished, unpatched and abandoned projects because
the developers wanted the new shiny or some financial reward.

Hi Thierry,
I think you are looking at Typescript from the perspective of the VFP
community which is now quite small, and for us to support it would be a
huge challenge. However, if MS abandoned Typescript, it would be no problem
because Typescript is now an official language at Google.

Thanks, Dave. *I* certainly can make it my default browser, although I
certainly won't!

Well, theorically true, very difficult practically.

You can still make it your default browser though.

One thought I wonder if the outcome for VFP would be different had it
existed as a mainstream product now.
The folks who are involved in the "open source" movement in M$ obviously either
don't know of the existence and power of VFP or have simply dismissed the
product as end of life so you
