  • About FoxPro, my question was edited. I said that is a verbose language and for me, this is not good, but it's a personal opinion. I understand it, but I don't like, and the main point is the age of language. It was not updated in my company, but there are new releases (Visual FoxPro 9 from 2007). Commented Apr 6, 2012 at 3:05

    @RenatoDinhaniConceição, it is common not to upgrade a database product as upgrades break things that currently work and there is no money or time to spend to make changes you don't need to if you maintain the older version. This is a business choice. Commented Apr 6, 2012 at 14:09
  • @HLGEM I think most languages have backward compatibility. Is about using the most recent version, not changing the language. Commented Apr 6, 2012 at 14:14
