Re: Can you work VFP into Win10?

COBOL is widely used in mainframe-based banking and insurance systems. It would NOT die. Nobody has the nerve to touch those written problems, as there will be legal consequences if not death altering them.

Should we pray for a miracle for VFP? What if someone resurrect VFP and enhance it? :)

Yeah, except many people have very, very large and perfectly working systems written in VFP (or COBOL or whatever else) where even if the customer base would fund a wholesale rewrite, it wouldn't happen in a 5 or 10 year period. Therefore containerisation and similar approaches like Centennial are an excellent solution.
