Since you mention an interest in history dang, you and others might find this article of interest. My partner and I wrote it to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the IBM i. http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/RPG_25/.

More recently I have been authoring a "behind the scenes" review of the birth of the current version of RPG. It discusses evolution of the language of which I was one of the "fathers" during my time with IBM. The series is not yet complete but starts here: http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/iDevelop/June-2015/The-Bi...

Since the commenting to individual posts is not available then anyone who is interested can read some of my responses here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10200586.

Please feel free to comment further.

Thanks dang for your warm welcome. I will address the outstanding comments in the original thread.

Thanks for the info. I found out in another thread that it is shut down 14 days after the last comment. I just saw it all too late since I don't frequent this board/list.

Fast moving world when 20 days is "old". What is the time limit? I guess I'll have to start a new thread or just let it go.

Thanks to those who responded.

I can see it on your response (and it was what I was looking for) but I see no sign of it in the posts to this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10093590
