RPG programmers almost never think about the bare metal. C programmers
almost all do. I think that this is the source of much pain for an RPG
programmer trying to learn C.
IBM APIs are documented quite well - for a C programmer. It's the
simplest thing in the world to go from the docs to a struct, assign a
pointer and walk down the tree. In C. This is a foreign concept to RPG
programmers; just looking at the docs scares many off.
Over on the RPG list we field a fair number of C-ish questions relating
to IBM APIs. Such threads often spawn 'try a different language' posts,
which sometimes degenerate into 'my language is better than yours'.
