Hello, I have been doing some thinking about writing an open source implementation of FoxPro. I write mostly in Python and I been thinking Python has too many similarities and strengths not to take a close look at basing the FoxPro project on Python.
Some of the benefits of a Python approach include:
- The Python interpreter is similar to the FoxPro interpreter in basic parse and execute function;
- Python works on multiple platforms;
- Python core code is easy to read and well-designed;
- Python has a large community and so does FoxPro -- getting some cross over will probably be good for both camps.
- The FoxPro community would welcome this project I think.
Just wondering what the group comments on this idea are.
