Subject: Re: RPG hard to learn?

there is just so much more work the programmer has to do in RPG than other languages.

here is some javascript code. Think of how much RPG would be needed to code the same thing.

catLookup_GetHtml( lookupSource, prCatNum, function( htmlText ) {
var elem = $(htmlText) ;

var pos = {
my: "left+50 top+50",
at: "left top",
of: elem
} ;
var parms = { height:500,
title:'Select Product Category',
close: dialog_Close,
width:550, position:pos } ;
$(elem).dialog( parms )
.prev(".ui-dialog-titlebar").css("background","yellow");
}) ;

I was reading a magazine article that was a thinly veiled
advertisement for a tool to migrate RPG to another language running on
i. What really caught my eye was "any developer can learn and use
[language]", with the implied contrast of "not every developer can learn and use RPG".

I learned RPG a long time ago, and for me it was "falling off a log
easy". What do you guys think, is RPG difficult?
