I would add that you should use the right tool for the right job ...
(and some will disagree with my next statement) ... writing a web app is
harder in RPG than it is in Java (JSP) ... on the other hand, writing
business logic is easier in RPG than it is in Java.

Writing any business application logic is harder in C / C++ than both
RPG & Java.

Carpentry and programming are very similar in that the skilled craftsman
has more than one tool is his workbench ... and he knows when to use them :)
