I realize you have your tongue in your cheek, but FoxPro will be long gone when Lisp is still alive and kicking in one form or another. The reason is simple: FoxPro is a proprietary RDBMS, IDE, and language all rolled into one, while Lisp is a programming language with open source implementations such as Common Lisp and Scheme that are actually seeming to be gaining respect and popularity again. I've tried to sit down and learn practical Lisp programming several times now over the past few years, but real life got in the way every time. Maybe when I'm independently wealthy and bored... :) Wikipedia has a nice overview of Lisp history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_programming_language Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
