SourceForge offers public download statistics.
you probably know what they say about statistics:Harbour (in all of its forms) is still very alive. I hope that someone can finally find the way to drive the xBase spirit to web/mobile development.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital."
... and, in our case, what is this the statistics certainly do conceal and not say,
is the average age of those downloading `Harbour compiler and friends`!
Also, I might (and I wish too) be wrong, but I hardly believe that anyone of
the "once upon a time" core developers (and users, as well)
have the interest and probably the energy to realize such a hope (about xBase-like web/dev tool).
and, no new blood seems entering the Harbour programming field.
And then again, "never say never"...
(mod_harbour shows something is moving in this direction..)
