In the first place, no one programming language is a panacea, and none should be treated as such.

Yet far too many programmers only bother to learn one, and let's face it, when the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem ends up looking like a nail.

If RPG is dying, then /free (which makes RPG look like something entirely different, and consumed resources that *could* have been used to make a full implementation of PL/I available on the 400), and the fact that The Cycle is so rarely used these days, and that so much new software uses SQL instead of native RLA, and that native RLA hasn't been updated to support certain data types, are all nails in its coffin.
