It's well served because I know the language and it does the job really well. ActiveVFP is very much like PHP - simple scripting text files. Just change some text and done. Data is fast, fast, fast. HTML page construction is especially easy and fast because of VFP's extremely strong string handling capabilities. I could go on and on. What's not to like?
>I know nothing of the application in question so I'm curious to know which aspect of web site development you think would be well served by VFP? The Data engine? HTML page construction? SOAP/Web services? Something else?

PHP is 32-bit, has no problem being marketed, and is actually kicking Microsoft's a$$ in web applications. This is beyond dispute!! If I want 64-bit with Foxpro I can always go to a 64-bit SQL backend where 64-bit actually makes a difference. 32 bit applications (no data) are actually faster than 64 bit or didn't you know that?? And VFP mtdlls are indeed multi-threaded dlls and support full multi-threading and multi-cores.
>You think it is easier to market an unsupported 32-bit single-threaded solution that was never remotely intended for a web hosted environment?

Yes, fun and easy - I've developed many, many, many web apps in ActiveVFP, west-wind, .NET and PHP. Definitely PHP and ActiveVFP are the most fun to develop in!
>Have you already done it in VFP? I have. Once. Fun is not the word that springs to mind.
