I must say these comments are something interesting. If this is the mindset of our next generation of developers we are in trouble. The IBM i is still going strong. Many Fortune 500 companies still on the system and love it. RPG free with ILE is just as modern as any other languages and quite similar to OOP. I work for one of the largest IBM i ISVâ(TM)s and we still are making million dollar deals with large IBM i shops. Costco is a customer of ours and are a global success. I just finished a project where we built a large goLang build on AIX which interfaces with the IBM i via PASE. So writing goLang alongside RPGLE was not a big difference at all. Hope this has helped educate some of you guys out in the over crowded Microsoft developer space. Iâ(TM)m so glad I get to work on a system thatâ(TM)s modern but also has backwards compatibility with 30 years of legacy code.
