RPG generates the most efficient code for IBM i.
RPG is a perfectly valid language, albeit with a peculiar syntax.
A student who understands databasing can learn to write a simple SQLRPG program in a day.
The future of IBM i is a lights-out 24x7 database serving up data via REST APIs.
The easiest way to code such APIs is in RPG.
Ergo, the RPG AI initiative has validity for the platform.

My question about whether ChatGPT could convert RPGLE to VB was just happenstance around that IBM webinar at the same time. Clearly IBM isn't interested in something like that. They want to capitalize on their decades long effort to support old code on newer machines.
