For the record, i'm not ANTI RPG.

I'm annoyed when people keep saying it's "the best business language in the
world".
Or something like that.
I want to know why.

This is not trolling.

I try to make real arguments.

But to what effect, i don't know.
It's now far too late, RPG is - still - the language of the platform, and
this will not change of course.

We as a developer community could've urged IBM (but 80's beginning 90's) to
introduce a decent language.
Instead, we were discussing free or not to free, while in the 90's the whole
client/server revolution passed by.

I don't have a problem with RPG, i mean it's a tool, another progra, nothing
more.

But the inertia of the AS/400 developers community.
Thats what i "hate".

But for the record: i do NOT hate.
I nag

TROLL

Henrik,

You now (and all others) also know my year of birth (1968), and my first
christian name (jacobus).

I'm not planning to reveal much more.
Maybe i'm afraid of my co workers, who would like to bash me in the face
for
my "anti-RPG" speak (i would like to call it objective).
You never know, in this world...
