I've read several times lately in articles that, in the author's opinion, RPG is the best language for business logic.

For a programmer who has very little knowledge of the world outside RPG and CL ( like me for instance ) that is difficult to question.

Could those of you who KNOW RPG is best explain very simply, why?
