You and I are older than dirt. RPG was so very ugly that I never put it on a resume. Same for Perl, for that matter.

I also had a long period of time using FORTRAN, the last being on Computer Automation Alpha LSI-4 minicomputers. That compiler wasn't reliable.

Yeah, I’d say we are a tad bit old. I grew up on FORTRAN and 360/370 assembler. I did two terrible years of work in COBOL. I hated it. I never wanted to touch RPG, so I avoided it like the plague and never had to do it. My hard core professional experience later on was in C and then C++, although I coded in all sorts of languages here and there as I found opportunities. Then as I was no longer able to code as fast as in my younger days I moved into design and architecture work. I still dabble, but these days it is mostly PHP.
