if you changed the question to be more pointed ...
That was my problem. Are we talking about nifty as in stylish, or nifty as in substantial?
My interest in ILE RPG is not its style, but rather its substance. Or perhaps the substantial things you can do with it - like building a business.
MS .Net and Java offer substantial (as in humongous) frameworks for application development, but there are times when their developers would give it all up for record-level I/O.
So rather than give up record-level I/O, ILE RPG allows programmers to build their own component libraries, reusable functions, procedure-wrappers over procedure-wrappers over procedure-wrappers, that offer high-level encapsulation found in the most robust IDEs.
So the niftiest (as in substantial) thing I've done in ILE RPG is to build frameworks. But I hope that in the near future my frameworks will be inconsequential (as in substance) in comparison to the applications that I build with RPG.
Nathan.
