From time to time.
I used Harbour mostly for historical reasons. I had to port 1,5mio
lines of Clipper 5.3 code to 64bit Windows and Linux. Project is
done and I don't think I'll start a new project in Harbour again.
Doesn't make sense to me:
- *.DBF storage doesn't scale at all (and, yes, I'm aware of RDD)
- you are quite often at the point where you have to write a
C extension because Harbour is missing something. The ecosystem
is quite mall.
- Python for example is much more powerfull and the design
is much cleaner... It's simply more fun.
Things may change, if I have to port the next Clipper application.
Regards, Thomas

NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. All these
things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week.
