If you loved watching West World, and haven't read the books... give at least the books a shot.

> Watching West World on HBO I’m struck by how they’ve captured some of Crichton’s DNA in both the set design and the kind of hubris corporations have in his books.

Having read all of Crichton's books a well as West World: I think I agree with you.

If you have a few minutes, I wonder if you could cite a few examples, thanks!

I currently maintain a "legacy" VFP application that is actually quite robust. Not as modern as most languages, but desktop apps can be quite robust. The access to HTTP libraries and WebView controls can bridge some gaps.

What's really missing is a better IDE with better type hinting, autocomplete, tabs, etc... VS Code would be a great base for an updated IDE. I know that Rick Strahl's West Wind has support for Visual Studio, but there's still some functionality missing.
