It's only 21 years in the making :)
Oh and I should mention that it is my main programmers editor for a variety of languages (not just DataFlex)
- kamarg 5y agoThis is only the second time in fifteen years of professional development I've seen someone say they work with DataFlex. What makes the language attractive to you compared to all the other languages that are around and see significantly higher adoption?
- wila 5y agoThanks for the question :) You are correct that there's not that many of us around. DataFlex is attractive for writing business software on windows (desktop and/or web). The framework is crazy effective in regards to how fast and efficient you can build an application. I have not seen anything that comes close and I do look around and try other things every now and then. A text editor isn't exactly the main target. I guess it is important to point out that the first release of that editor was in 2001. Not that it took 21 years to get something working :D.
