I may be 56 but I feel like a man 55/56ths my age!

Wow … if this is representative of the community as a whole Clarion has a problem.

I Doubt that it is Joe. Just 40 votes form the group who use this forum. Need a lot more to get anything meaningful I think.
I would suggest someone sharing it on the newsgroups but just knowing what a newsgroup is already implies a certain age group 
Digest emails will likely send out this week and include this topic which might bring in a few more votes. 580 plus users on this site but I am sure than just me are in the < 44 bracket! Maybe if someone could share it on linked in or google+ group and extend the reach (and yeah, give the newsgroups a go!)? I have hit the Tweet link already.
Wow, 10% under 44. For any in that group working in the USA, I’d sure be interested to know. My estimate would have been 0%.
Definitely a few around, I recall meeting some folks who would still fit that bracket about 3 devcons back
Well, I am 44 so I was on the line! #CookevilleTN

One can conclude young developers don´t have time to answer polls…

One might indeed make that conclusion. On the other hand, it might just well be that old guys work smarter.
My very real concern, which I am confident is not unique, is how best to plan for an App’s future as one moves toward retirement (~2 years)?
With all data in PostgreSQL, a young(er), high caffeine developer can be free to choose whatever App tools are desired. However, I put my nickel down on ANY type of “modern” replacement for 30+ years of Clarion as taking much longer than predicted. Until then, some Clarion skills/training (along w/ some real interest) just MIGHT prove beneficial.

I’d like to know how many of that under 40 group chose Clarion as opposed to those that inherited a project. Does SV have any comment/info on new sales v renewals?
I have several 6.3 projects out there that are getting long in the tooth.
No surprise. I’m 43 and knew I was one of the younger ones. Don’t know why Clarion doesn’t start a marketing push before all of the current clients retire, which ain’t far away.
