Wow, that's a blast from the past. In all honesty, I would never have thought 
that some people would still be using VFP 11 years later! I thought there would 
be stragglers for a few more years at most, and then it would be more like 
maintenance mode for COBOL apps.

Then again, I haven't regretted my decision to switch to Python. It has taken 
me on an incredible journey, and allowed me to be part of the birth of 
OpenStack, and I spoke about it a few years ago before I left Rackspace:

Having said that, I must confess that all my free time for playing lately has 
been consumed by learning Go. It's a very interesting language, and quite a 
change from working with a dynamic language like Python.
