For CGI, anything could do....

I barely remember python is younger than PHP and perl. And I believe
everyone here knows that Clipper 5.x gets object-oriented long before
Visual Foxpro.

But Windows is definitely your primary objective, which reflects your

Remember how Foxpro 2.6 uses the form designer to generate codes? Maybe
that's a better approach. You lay a form on the old form designer, then
you generate html+javascript+css+xml to interact with the user over the
