>I think the whole point of supporting multiple languages in .Net is so that a developer can use the language he prefers or is most familiar with.
Thats not how I think of it. I think of it like there are multiple syntaxes to one language (the language being the CLR/.NET Framework in general).
>Off of the top of my head, I compared VFP's array functions to those in VB.Net.
To tell you the truth, I avoid array's like the plauge. I'd rather use XML or some object collection, both of which are easy in .NET.
>Why not do the same with VFP?
The goal has been to get the power out of the language and put it into the language nutreal framework.
Why have 3 or 4 ways to do the same basic trivial task? Why not teach a developer how to do it the right way in the .NET framework and be confident you just taught a technique that can be applied to work in any syntax and still be comprehendable.
