Hi Victor,

it definately is something to watch - I started as eager beaver in 2019.
Did a bit of coding, documenting the scope, tried to explain vfp.
I was stoked at their roadmap with pareto 89% done within a year.

They missed by a mile - and what for me is worse, they did not get
what at least I consider vfp special sauce of buffering tables plus
tableupdate/-revert, getnextmodified, getfldstate, old/curval, get/setfldstate
which are also the backbone of views and cursoradapter generated local tmp tables.
SQL on dbf tables to be accessed by driver, "cursor" only in name
as memory list of ADO.NET ilk, to be accssed not via SQL but LINQ.

Unclear if/when/scope of code accessible in mobile or WASM would be.
Also, speed of vfp table handling was not there - might be reached.

As they do not offer the things I mentioned/hope for as vfp sauce, I might hack a bit
on SQLite in mobile, which Google offers also in WASM as replacement to WebSQL.

It gives you option of SQL into your local cursor of unpersisted data,
offers some local persistence, potentially allows you to decide on memory or disc storage,
might even offer RO access from a local database for offline first.

xSharp is interesting (and educational, if you read their open source),
but currently it does not offer even similar capabilities (see special sauce)
and it is unclear if my targets "web SQL local storage/engine" or mobile
will be in reach within few years.

Specc your targets above current vfp (with additions from FoxInCloud plus Rick for
web FoxIncloud is based on and perhaps a replacement for WebBrowser via WebView2)
try and measure, then decide... The crew definately is competent and helpful
but they have not realized what large vfp apps need (from very personal POV).

regards
thomas

>This has nothing to do with Python ... but I am interested to see how this goes -- its' bascially a .net verson of VFP. I have not tried it yet and don't know if it's even usable yet.
