That is a lie.  (based on ignorance I am hoping).  John, do you really
believe that?


I'd agree with the first part at least, you need more than one language.

In fact, I'd argue that the root cause of RPG's problems and in turn
part of the platform's problems are that too many RPG developers only
know RPG (and usually RPG III at that!)

I've yet to meet an ILE RPG programmer who doesn't have at least some
familiarity with another language.
