Actually, I disagree here ... RPG does NOTHING that your customers need ...
what you build with RPG does what your customers need. I have yet to see a
compiler that can explode a bill of materials.
RPG should do what *I* need it to do so that my customers can have what
they need.
Using a different language, such as Java, is not really an option most of
the time. True, Java has a lot of the features that I want when it comes
to OO programming (although I really would like a true destructor) ... RPG
is still what the majority of the code that I work on is written in and
does the majority of what my customers need. I would REALLY like to see
some OO concepts implemented in RPG. Personally, I think that would help
me build what my customer needs immensely.
JMHO, of course. Your mileage may vary.
