AW: VFP - What upgrades would VFP10 have had...

Hi Kevin,

you basically described Lianja with your wishlist. (Lianja is a SpinOff of

the Recital core, which was a FoxPro Clone on Big-Iron-boxes). They use the

VFP objectmodel, and can use an enhanced VFP-syntax or PHP, Phyton and

Javascript /Typescript (whatever you prefer)

I always coined Lianja as "this would be VFP11, if Microsoft would have been

intelligent enuf"

wOOdy

Betreff: RE: VFP - What upgrades would VFP10 have had...

1. 64bit VFP IDE for access to virtually unlimited RAM

2. 64bit compiled applications

3. Simultanous compilation to multiple target platforms: Linux, Mac, Windows

4. Add the target platform of Web and allow me to cross use business objects

I also use in desktop applications.

5. Make it as easy to develop the Web applications as it is easy to develop

desktop applications.

6. Add the target of Raspberry Pi as well for their Linux OS distros

7. While we're at it add iOS and Android phone support as a target

8. Strong typing. I'm tired of my own coding errors. Typed issues should be

found at compile time, not during testing. That'd save me a ton of time.

9. Keep the database agnostic nature of VFP

10. Keep the reasonable license fee, with unlimited distributions per

compiled application.

-Kevin

Subject: VFP - What upgrades would VFP10 have had...

Alan's comment post regarding VFP not having any upgrades put me in the

realm of thinking that IF VFP development had continued what updates and

additions we could have seen.

Floor open to anyone with useful additions.

For myself I'll start off with:

Native 64bit support
