4) You seem to think that everybody here only uses OE and has blinders on to everything else. I promise you there are those of us who have done large applications (thousands of concurrent users) in non OE languages and databases. I will put more faith in my real world experience with large applications than with your internet searches and playing around with Elixir. Sorry - See more at: Convincing enough for the likers, not very impressing. It's your work, good luck in your antique shop. 
I know some others that of course do not react that are interested. - See more at: --- Someone wants to talk about something else other than OpenEdge in this forum and then bad mouth the technology. That is bad form in this forum, which is dedicated to OE tech. What you should be bad mouthing are corporations that use the tech and insist on using character interfaces and years old techniques. But hey, it makes money as is for them, it makes money for the developers who have to live with such things. I'm sure Progress wants to get them off the old tech too! IOW, no amount of bad mouthing the technology is going to get the user base (ie, corps) off old sh!t. The user base is what pays the bills for nearly everyone on this site. You can talk sh!t while the rest of us get the bills paid. All your doing, agent, is making yourself look bad for OE projects (and many others too.) Be careful, Europe has more Progress work than the states and I am sure the bad mouthing isn't having anyone stand up and say "Hey, come work here!" Like you both say, I am a DB2, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Progress DB programmer with the ABL, HTML/Javascript, C, PHP, C++ and a bunch of languages you never heard of (net.data anyone?) Progress it's self is pretty much a C shop from what I remember when I contracted here. After all, the ABL is made with something. I am open to hearing about other tech, even though it might not be welcome by the admin of this site. But telling people they are welcome to work in their antique shop does not a good reputation make for getting paying work in OE .
