Jesus Christ, not FoxPro.
I briefly worked for a company whose main product had been a FoxPro application that they rewrote piece by piece in C#, reimplementing various FoxPro idioms as they went. It was a nightmare and no one knew what any of it did. One "senior" developer tearfully argued with me during a code review that even fixing comments could have dire consequences.
I suspect that someone higher up liked it that way, because I was fired shortly after mathematically proving that something was really wrong in some of the accounting code.
- mamcx 3y agoWell, no programing language is good for data applications as is FoxPro (certainly not C#), and is terrible to writer LANG-a in LANG-b. So sorry for you to get the worst of both worlds! P.D: I do a port from a Fox app using idiomatic C#, like 10-30x the size of it, but well it was idiomatic!
