>> VFP is a great product but one that doesn't sell well to developers, and not only because of Microsoft's marketing or lack thereof, but because it's very different from anything else out there...
The main "difference" is FP's tight coupling of language with data. How long do you think it will be before this is seen as a fantastic innovation in dotNET or some other popular tool? ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
