- RPG is not a modern language!
- RPG is not state of the art and it has never been!
- RPG is just an improtnat language for one platform, I like (the platform) and maybe some others too
- even ILE RPG 7.1 has severe drawbacks!!!
just to name some of these:
- it has no sufficient support for namespaces
- it's not prepared for event driven programms, because it has nos support for multi threading (yes, I know the keywords for the H-specs)
- the compiler does not support error handling
- static binding was an outdated concept, at the time it ws introduced to ILE RPG
- it's complicated to have multiple connections with embedded SQL (yes, I know, what an activation group is!)
- it's not supported to controll activation at runtime (yes, I know ACTGRP(*NEW))
- there are very few components available (yes, I know, there are some - I'm one of the guys publishing Open Source and Freeware!)
- there are no development tools which are competitive with Eclipse (yes, I know WDSC or RDI, or how it might be named today, but where is refactoring???)
