I'm not yet 40. RPG isn't the only arrow in my quiver, but it's the most used. I'm not concerned about running out of RPG jobs in my career. I'm more concerned with the antiquated, nasty code those jobs will have to deal with. That's why I study other languages on my time.

If I was only 50 and only had RPG in my toolbox I would be very concerned for my future but anyone has of course to do their own due diligence but what I see is more IBM i partners than customers on common and IBM meeting, no major IBM i partners or even IBM i emplyees that attend IBM's general partner meeting that focus solely on Watson, cognitive IT, AI and IoT - surely not the IBM I used to know, sadly but truth :-(
