With the exception of the LISP syntax, I agree with you!

I wanna get a relational / kdb+ / ml hybrid.

One of the gems of FoxPro was the always-on terminal. It have his own terminal/repl. In the IDE. Always ON. You can do

CREATE FORM name

and open the form as a table

then do

BROWSE

and see how was made. And you could activa the terminal on a shipped app, so you can fix things on the fly.

And the debugger (specially the var windows) was good. To date, no single debugger/var window have bees as good as was with Visual FoxPro.
