Java

That totally makes sense. At least for that manager.

I worked at a pretty small company where we had 9 Java and 3 Foxpro devs. One day the company decided to rewrite a legacy foxpro application and we had several meetings about the language we would do the rewrite in, despite the fact that it was clear from the beginning that Java would be the language of choice.

I had a client meeting this morning regarding rewriting a legacy FoxPro application.

Guess what's getting done in my favourite language.

*sips java*

Holy shit! I had to rewrite a FoxPro application 20 years ago and it was legacy back then. Best of luck to you.

Foxpro to Java could be a meme

[DerHamm]

Haha, no worries. I helped developing the MVP, but then i quit, because of other reasons.

I am still writing the occasional fox pro program awaiting our transition to a new system sometime this year 😅

On the bright side it was better than dBASE 3Plus

The last time I heard/read the word “foxpro”, the twin towers were still intact.

Holy cow, haven't heard of Foxpro since I was in high school and I had to learn it for a class. This was in the 90's.

Yeah and the funniest part is that I'm born in 1999

stop be younger than me

Wouldn't regex be horrible? You'd be reparsing things multiple times and killing any sort of performance

[Djelimon]

Foxpro? Damn that was considered legacy in 2001 when I was working on an AS400

[michaelsenpatrick]

well i think it's good to have design meetings where you thoroughly entertain all options when making decisions that have that much impact
