I think I found one of the big reasons Foxpro didn't do well on the survey:
From the Survey: "About three-fourths of professional developers who took our survey are younger than 35." From Wikipedia: "Visual Foxpro was derived from FoxPro (originally known as FoxBASE) which was developed by Fox Software beginning in 1984."
Soooo, apparently our favorite language is actually OLDER than most of the respondents to the survey. So we can honestly say we were all programming the Fox before most of these whippersnappers were even a gleam in their momma's eye.
PS: I also learned I'm in the rarified air of old professional programmers. Woohoo or Dammit (depends on the day)!

I felt that I had to put [NF] in the subject line, because (spoiler alert!) there is no mention of Fox in these results. Nor any xbase language. Nor Xojo. Nor Servoy. Nor any of the other technologies trying to lure Fox developers out of their shells.
