Uniqueness

The article is slightly misleading about code blocks. It calls them "unique" when they're not really. One only has to look at `lambda' from the Lisp world to see this.

I agree and I removed the word from the text. Maybe they are unique if compared to xBase. EmilioSilva 23:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Still active?

"As of 2005, the Clipper language is being actively implemented, and extended"

Many are NOT using clipper but are migrating to other languages, meaning it is not actively implemented. Any comments? or should i remove this? 59.93.129.26 10:28, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. Clipper is still the cornerstone of my company's product suite, and comp.lang.clipper is quite active indicating that it is still in active use worldwide.

I used to use clipper and purchased Visual Objects but I did not get into using it because it did not become popular.

General purpose?

Isn't Clipper more suited to the same niche of purpose of COBOL?

That would rather depend on what you think the "niche" of COBOL is. I can't say I've ever noticed that Clipper has a real "niche" as such -- I've seen it used to develop all sorts of applications. davep 09:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
