Title:
VFP had LINQ back in 1995
I found this interesting comment by Beth Massi as she discusses the history of Visual Studio in her most recent blog entry:
"I came from a different background (dbase), and not a Microsoft product until 1990 (they bought FoxPro). Always a data-based programmer I didn’t have much experience with C++ back then, and only a tiny bit of Visual Basic. (Why would I, VFP had LINQ and OOP in 1995 ;-))"
Who knew at that time that VFP was foreshadowing things to come over 10 years later. Oh wait, if I'm not mistaken, C# 4.0 is going to be a "dynamic language" too. I'm not sure what that means, but somehow I get the feeling VFP was there already.
What's old is new again.
