I didn't want to continue hijacking the other thread, but I wanted to comment on this:
"Lots of shops are seeing the writing on the wall with RPG and are moving away from it(n1) and selecting their next generation language. They could go with the solid PHP, but then they'd be picking a language that's not on the rise. They could go with Ruby (not extensively adopted on IBM i, though very popular everywhere else). They could go with Python (another solid general purpose language, and seeing more adoption on IBM i than Ruby). Or they could go with the newer kid on the block that offers something none of the others can, a single language for client and server."
I don't doubt your observation. I suspect that a large part of the "writing on the wall" is from the mass of technical debt caused by neglect of their codebase over the years, not the superiority of Node, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.
