FWIW Lianja 1.0 came out yesterday. I'm going to fund a conversion project, bringing across existing VFP logic but with all new work done in Python or PHP or something safe that can't be foxed or embraced/extended/ruined. If it works, then VFP code is dead and long live VFP code.
"... 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
