I completely identify with this poster. I inherited an app written in CA Clipper (a language from 1987) It became FoxPro. I had to learn those ancient technologies. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. I loved those old terminal/DOS apps. Around 1999, we made the decision to migrate the entire app to Object Pascal/Delphi/Kylix/InterBase/FireBirdSql. It was an incredible effort. I loathed, yet loved it. What I learned during that year STILL comes back from time to time in my current development projects. Kinda makes me feel old! When I started doing C#, I felt quite at home. Apparently, the guy who did Delphi, got hired at Microsoft.
