Clarion 7

Just a quick post and a question for my 3 readers. What is the youngest Clarion developer you know?

I’m 23, and have been programming in Clarion for 2 years now (Although things are going to be changing, but more on that some other time). At our Clarion User Group in Somerset West (near Cape Town), I am the youngest by a couple of years. If I take the average age of our members / mailing list, out of the 20 so developers, the average age is above 30, actually more like 35.

Yes, Clarion started way back in 1986 (when I was just 2!), and has come a long way since then, so obviously there are a number of “not-so-young” developers, which is why the average is around 35. But I honestly think that for Clarion to carry on and not fade into infinity, younger developers need to get into and “sell” Clarion.

2 Questions

1: What is the age of the youngest Clarion developer you know?
2: How many Clarion developers in their 20’s do you know?

1: Me! I’m 23.
2: I know of 3 developers in their 20’s.

I am not trying to offend anyone, irrespective of age / race / development language. If you are offended by this blog and my writing, I am not forcing you to read it! I just love having intelligent and though-provoking debates!
