"No one writes RPG anymore" or the Emperor's new clothes. (was RE: Using the QzshSystem Qshell API)

I've heard since 1993 (when I first learned of the as400) that RPG is dead,
and that no one codes new stuff in RPG.

All I can say is I code new stuff in RPG all the time.  Weekdays, weekends,
weeknights, holidays, right this moment in fact.

I'd hate to see what it would be like if RPG was alive.  I wouldn't be able
to handle the demand.
