Subject Re: What Other Languages Use Syntax Similar to dBASE?... more please From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Fri, 21 Apr 2023 19:16:19 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Doug, The problem is, you've said you're broadening your versatility, but you haven't said in which way you want to do that.  To suggest another language for you, that "may" be dBASE like, one needs to know where you want to go. Data, General Programming, compiled, web, what do you want to do? To be honest, except for the OOP similarity of using dot.notation and functions, there really isn't a similar language to dBASE, syntax wise. That will the be challenge for you, learning the syntax. The programming concepts of loops, decisions, etc, are the same, except for the language syntax to accomplish it, which is why the syntax is what defines and differentiates a language from another. So if you want suggestions, it would help to know what you want to do, other than dBASE.
