Re: RPG - I'm not dead yet!

Thanks, Jerry. That's a pretty cogent synopsis of the situation with a very low geek factor.

And yes, C was a godsend for me. While I was learning RPG, I also learned assembly language and then C, and understanding the basic C syntax has served as a solid foundation for many of the other languages I've learned over the years, including C++, Java and JavaScript.

I'm not nearly as well versed in these things as you and Joe, but why would
one consider RPG (and here I'm assuming ILE RPG) to be an Achilles' Heel?
An Achilles' Heel is a weak point (usually a fatal one). Just because it's
tied so closely to the system (using, I think, the system's data management
routines among other things) shouldn't be cause for alarm. As Joe and JHHL,
among others, have pointed out it always helps to be multilingual. Makes me
wish I hadn't given up on C those many years ago.

RPG is not a fatal flaw - in my opinion - as long as Toronto keeps growing
it. Which they seem intent upon doing.
