FoxPro killed in 2007, revived as 64-bit FoxDev Studio

Microsoft discontinued FoxPro in 2007, but FoxDev Studio brings it back. This 64-bit IDE runs Visual FoxPro 9 projects natively, with no conversion. It includes a Rust-based VM compiled to WebAssembly, a React-driven form designer, and a 32-bit bridge for legacy .fll libraries. FoxScript adds lambdas and HTTP routing to the same language. Tables can now grow beyond 2 GB, though they won't open in original FoxPro again.

The ceiling that came with 32 bits is gone.
