Hi,

I've recently assisted some people in doing an EGL project on iSeries (the 
first time I know of someone using it, and they used the Visual predecessor 
product on mainframe hence why), but I'm far from impressed.  

While the learning curve might be easier than writing full Java applications, I 
neither see any other reason why people would jump into EGL (apart from in this 
case were it was more or less porting... however I'm convinced that Java people 
could do it faster and better in Java).

Kind regards,
Paul

I took a tutorial session on EGL at DevCon in NewOrleans and I left
scratching my head as to IBM's intentions. I was wondering why someone would
take the time to learn a language like EGL instead of Java, or why IBM would
dispose of NET.DATA in favor of creating another language - EGL.

Is anybody moving forward with EGL?  Why did you choose EGL vs. Java and all
of it's related technologies?
