I work for a company who’s main source of income is a suite of accounting, stock and job management applications, all of which are written in FoxPro. The community add-ons and support is incredible but there hasn’t been any official support since like 2009.
Microsoft bought the license for FoxPro, supported it for a few years then killed it off when VB came out. I wonder why xD
The crazy part is some of our clients are turning over 100s of millions in profit a year, using this crappy, mess of a system written in a dead language, by one dude 😂
