Re: When an AS/400 is called an iSeries

Yes perhaps I can only write well RPG.
But I do not see a reason why I could not write web-applications with it or 
create interfaces (of what ever sort to what ever other platform).
They are blazing fast, stable, secure and you can do whatever you would like 
and can do with any other languages.
Auditors simply love high-risk web-applications running on iSeries and using 
only compiled objects.

I really do not need other languages. 
Again, it is not about the language, it is about what you do with it 

Yes perhaps i can only write well RPG.
I'm not at all ashamed for that!!

Why pick on RPG? And yes, you should consider RPG for back-end servers 
supporting AJAX clients - even if you're not currently using RPG.  I have RPG 
templates for Web applications that are VERY impressive and the performance is 
simply unmatched.
