Sorry to spoil the party... but it's a fact that in IT, thay way things work are not always because it is the best way, but simply because changing it is too risky and/or too costly. Best example: Windows.

Anyway... it's a good question, now we need some good answers and this is not an answer.

I've read several times lately in articles that, in the author's opinion, RPG is the best language for business logic.

For a programmer who has very little knowledge of the world outside RPG and CL ( like me for instance ) that is difficult to question.

Could those of you who KNOW RPG is best explain very simply, why?
