…and in this corner…
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Step right up and watch the debate unfold. (Did you do the voice?)Most in the Fox community are frazzled by the grim reality of no more FoxPro releases. The folks at MasFoxPro are still trying to change Microsoft’s mind though, and I support them. Besides, if this works, I’ll hire them to get my 18 month old son to eat a little something more than just cookies and oatmeal (which he learned by watching me, of course).
Perhaps the best representation of the internal debate (and maybe a little in-fighting) is happening over at fox.wikis. Doug Hennig says that he will “move on and make the best of our situation”. While everyone is being forced to move on (at least to some degree, after all, VFP is a very mature language and will continue to be a valuable asset), some are slamming the door (and re-opening the door only to slam it again) while others are softly closing it.
