I do. The first day I saw iSeries I asked the question: "is any fancy
language available for this beast?" and a guy from IBM answered "yes,
there's REXX...". "No!", I replied, "You must be kidding, you really
call REXX a fancy language? Gosh, you must be one of those funny
creatures, that still love Fortran and use Perl to manipulate XML files
like usual text files..." I love this beast, it's really fantastic
machine, unless you want to do anything interactively. ;)
