what matters is if my opinion is valid or not.

My point was that if the defining characteristics of a language are undesirable for a particular purpose, then the language itself is almost certainly poorly suited for that purpose.

Around here, all of our products currently include RPG (both OPM and ILE), ILE C, and OPM MI, and most also include CL (in some cases, both OPM and ILE). And there are programs we use in-house that were written in PL/I, and when I finally have a chance to work on V6 support, we'll also be using REXX in-house. And all of our client code (and again, a few things we have running in-house on our 400s) is in Java.

We use whatever language is best suited for the purpose at hand.
