No, I guess you're right, I just HATE FoxPro. A couple months ago I was forced into learning it because one of our main applications we develop and support is in FoxPro. The program was origininally done in 2.6, but was recently converted to vfp 7. Me and another programmer had to take over this project, which was done on the outside, but still needs modifications, and also add another module.

The IDE itself is buggy. Debugging is a chore. And it lets you compile just about anything without warning or error - it just crashes when it gets to the point where you're accessing a variable that wasn't declared or something like that. I've heard that VFP 8.0 is a LOT better, but I haven't had a chance to look at it.

On a positive note, another thing that can be cool about foxpro is that we have one main application that accesses a bunch of smaller apps. If you make a variable public in one app without releasing it, any other app can have access to that variable without it being declared. But this can also have its drawbacks. The saving grace is that the programmer who originally wrote the program (and is no longer with us) is brilliant and very talented.



If I write code in my sleep, does that make me brilliant, or just a lazy programmer?
