Hi All,

Since the good old when Rick Strahl so actively supported VFP as a platform for speedy and effective web dev., we have not seen a rally for http development using generic interpreters "à la fox".

Compilers are supposed to be the way. Current conventional wisdom is this that such "general purposes interpreter tools" are not effective for massive applications, performance-, quality- and performance-wise.

The recent news: YouTube is a python thing (no java or MS equiv.). Googling on Youtube, python and Guido will get you to the information. Guido (the python guru - now at google - was not even aware of it until a couple of days ago).

Yes you can build decent web apps with interpreters. UT is a sample. YouTube is another one:)

For information using python as servlet and page-based environment is quite like using vfp for the same matter. A simple interpreter to build, tune up your prg files with a dot prompt (for the learning side), high-end productivity and comfortable batteries included (not the same ones as VFP but effective as well).

Am I the only one here to have switch skillset from VFP to python? Specifically for Web dev.
