Let me chime in with an endorsement of Xojo. Free to try out development
for Desktop, Web and soon for iOS native applications. Desktop allows
for development on Windows, Mac and Linux. Web apps are great for
consumption on phones and tablets. To compile and deploys stand-alone
applications, you'll need a license. I find the licensing costs to be
reasonable.
As far as the language goes, it is very much like VFP: Object oriented,
single inheritance model. Did I mention it natively has threads?
I think most VFP developers could be comfortable within 2 days.

I'm in a similar situation now where I'm good with using VFP as a fat

and more desirable (and useful) for some of the tasks my fat-app does.
(I hear the wolves at the door and realize I can't ignore them
forever.) Thanks to others on this list I've also been making a
serious effort towards Python, but I confess I like the fences that
VFP provides (single IDE, lots of ways to do stuff, but a core VFP-way
to do it.) While Python is obviously flexible and powerful, I feel
like I'm standing in a huge open prairie with no idea which way to go.
Not looking for extensive reporting of your investigation prior to
choosing B4Android, just a succinct sales pitch (besides the obvious
price advantages!)
