People do care what language is used for their software projects. If this were not so, then Fox would have been embraced more. The fact is - given staffing needs - I/T decision makers will far more likely than not - beg off or have begged off Fox for quite some time.

Is Fox Dead? I guess that depends on your definition of dead? Is an individual who is brain dead - but kept on life support dead?

There is not a single upward trend in the FoxPro market - whether it is magazines, jobs, books, conferences, market share, etc. - you name it.

My impression - not that you care - Fox is in all material respects - dead. It may not be PC to say that - but when you look at it objectively, that is the state of affairs. Does that mean it is a waste of time to program in it -to make $'s from it? Of course not. One does not necessarily mean the other. All this means is that people should not have unrealistic expectations. And for sure - people should stop wondering why Fox is not marketed or whether it will be marketed. That candle burned out a long time ago.

Some people care what language is used for their projects, yes, but some don't care. I know this for a fact because I've had both types of clients. In fact, it's usually not the clients that care what language is used so much as the developers they hired to create the solution. Perhaps my experiences are abnormal but my clients have usually resisted moving to a different development platform due to the financial investments already made unless........unless they were spooked into it because their existing platform was "dead". Hell, I'm still developing NEW systems in Foxpro DOS because my current employer likes that it works and leverages past investments. Surely Foxpro 2.6a for DOS is far more dead than any Visual Foxpro version! At least by your definition.

My impression and opinion is that Foxpro is very much alive given that developers still use it, customers still want systems developed with it and the owner still cranks out new versions.

I'm curious as to what your agenda is since you seem so eager to promote the death of Foxpro.

Using your logic, the Internet is dead.
