Translating the code to another code base would be an easy (at least understanding the python side) task. My guess the issue would be - taking advantage of the new language features. I.e. - using CSS to style controls instead of letting the OS determine what the control would look like on the screen. Going to the web seems to me to the best option.
But I still have concerns. The development tools just suck. That's why I am looking at Flutter. With Flutter, the development environment seems to be one tool vs. Html, CSS, and Javascript. Flutter appears to simplify development process for the web. No longer do you need extra tools, frameworks or special ways to gather code.

>>>And then there's Lianja, which takes most of pain out of web design. You still have to design the page, but it's in a visual designer, things that must be set are set through properties, not in CSS, etc. The web part runs on JavaScript, but the developers only part in this is to handle triggers (a control's value changes, etc.). The saving, deleting, filtering etc. are all methods already hooked up to the UI for you.

As a language. And given that I am at the bottom of the technical skills on this forum, this speaks a lot about C#. In fact, I think C# compiler is better than VFP 9 compiler. The difficult part, IMHO, is creating a UI. And if I were to upgrade my VFP 9 app, I would go with the web application. And for that you need good web design skills and probably other skills. My understanding is that Angular is helpful with regards to the UI. I don't know and not even attempting to learn Angular (no motivation no drive); so I am speculating.
