True enough, Colin.  I guess I've got a skewed outlook, since I've been
using Java and RPG side-by-side for five years now, and C and RPG for
the previous ten.

But that's why I love OS/400 and the ILE environment, because it allows
you to do that so well, better than any other environment.  It's no
surprise that Microsoft is copying that architecture.  They're actually
pretty good at making cheap knockoffs of other technology.

For example,

Apple begat Windows
OS/2 begat NT
Java begat J#
ILE begat .NET
