I didn't imagine I'd ever see FoxPro mentioned on Hacker News. That's like seeing... a Gnome vs. KDE debate on a FoxPro forum.

- malkia 14y agoI had an exam in Ashton Tate's dBase in the last year at my high school (this was a special mathematical high school in Bulgaria, every big city had one such school or more)
- Sami_Lehtinen 14y agoWhat about Clipper and dB3?
- bsg75 14y agoStarted my career on dBase II, then III, then Paradox, then Foxpro (and VFP). Eventually on to DB2/2 (OS/2), Sybase, MSSQL, now all PostgreSQL. The FoxPro / xBase market was very nice to me for about 6 years. I am happily surprised to see this still exists: http://www.dbase.com/ http://www.dbase.com/
