RPG is "Repulsive Programming Garbage". It is the worst production programming language ever conceived. It was designed in the 60's based on the IBM 402 tabulator paradigm, to bridge programmers from plugboard wiring, to the 360 stored-program mode. It has long outlived its usefulness. Yet it lives on, entrenched in legions of schlubs who, like Bre'r Rabbit, have never known anything else.
