I just received the current issue of Bloomburg Business Week, a special
double issue about CODE(software).

I happened to open the magazine to page 66, where they list a subset of
about 500 of the 1700 programming languages they are aware of.

I wonder how they picked that subset. Until I read the article, I have
no reason to believe they knew what they were even looking at.

And while
they did indicate they got the list from Wikipedia, do you think RGP or
Report Program Generator made the subsetted list of 500? Nope.

They did list RPL, RSL and RTL/2, but no RPG.

Well, for what it's worth, the TIOBE Index lists RPG at number 40 for June 2015:

Usual caveats apply. The index is generated by applying algorithms to
a bunch of search engines.
