Thank you,

Hi Nancy!
First of all, as others have pointed out, as long as we have
applications written in RPG, RPG will stick around. But over time, I
think it's clear that more and more new development will move away from
RPG. Consider that PHP is available on the IBM i. That has got to be
tempting for a lot of i shops.
I'm not going to make any predictions about what languages are going to
be used 5 or 10 years from now. But if you want to know where things are
now, just look at the job postings.
And I can tell you about my own personal experiences. I recently moved
to a city with a population of 115,000. I knew it wouldn't be easy
finding work here. But after just 5 weeks of learning PHP, I had a job
as a PHP programmer.
Cheers! Hans
