Hmmmm... confused by the statement "C++ is just as complex as ILE".
Do you mean that C++ is just as complex as ILE RPG? I'd agree with
that. (Actually, I'd say it's more so, but better for certain types of
tasks, especially lower-level programming, like writing deveoper's
tools, whereas RPG is better for business rules.)
But... You can compare C++ against ILE RPG. But you can't exactly
compare C++ against ILE itself. C++ (at least on IBM i) actually runs
in the ILE environment -- so it _is_ ILE. And C++ is a programming
language, vs. ILE being an environment.

yeah, Vern. I think C++ is just as complex as ILE. Which is one
reason why C# is so much bettern than C++. And now Microsoft is
reemphasizing C++ over C# in metro apps, so what do I know.
