I still maintain a VFP9 project from time to time. Although AI has been extremely helpful in writing VFP9 code, I can't imagine migrating this enormous project, which has grown over the course of 30 years, to a more modern system by feeding the source code to AI.

While one could debate which approach would be best for migrating such a project, an 'AI-led Big Bang Migration' would be insane.

However, AI would certainly be helpful for migration.

If you're ever looking to migrate off of that a better starting point is finding a way to dump the DBF files into CSV (there's a perl script for this that works wonders called DBF2CSV but I hear LibreOffice can just open these files too)...

After inheriting a project where the source code CDROM went missing I can definitely see a use case for at least trying with the latest frontier models to rescue the logic because it took me a while to reverse that thing manually to fix a bug with radare2

Thanks for the tip—I'll give it a try soon!
