Sadly, Way Too Many people hear "ILE" and think that the learning curve is
too high to scale.  By hammering home that RPG IV is simple and easy to
write in and doesn't require these "new-fangled, confusing Static Binding
Activation Group Service Program Module Binder Language thingies,"  I am
_sometimes_ able to convince reticent  traditional midrange programmers to
_just try it_ before repeating the knee-jerk condemnation.

That's why I try to use RPG IV as often as possible when talking about the
language.
