Sorry for the rant, But why can't RPG just be
RPG?
It is and it isn't. Everyone has their own definition of just what the
essence of RPG is Bob.
What is it to you?
To me it is the power of moving mountains with an EXFTM or WRITE.
It is having math functions oriented towards business.
It is having backward compatibility so that I can take an old program and
convert it and be pretty damn sure that it will work.
It is NOT how I code D-specs, or F-specs. I'll live with any reasonable
syntax for that - and unlike some others will live with decisions made in
the past even if I don't particularly like them.
Anyone else want to contribute what RPG means to them in a few short pithy
sentences?
