I appreciate that.
If you're a js programmer, you're a js programmer.
I was talking about data center programmers who have to do anything
and everything at the drop of a hat.
PHP is for them.
It's certainly not in our data center. I had to lear

That’s debatable! Most people would consider Node.js, Python Django or Ruby on
Rails paired with a JavaScript framework like React to be far superior to PHP.

No it’s not it’s a terrible language. It’s so bad it’s almost always the butt
of jokes in the programming community

Go is not a replacement for C++. It’s a GC language which makes it completely
unsuitable for deterministic programming domains. Rust is the C++ replacement
with RAII and memory ownership baked in.

The more modern languages supported on z/OS the better. Otherwise it
will just be viewed as a legacy platform and will slowly wither on vine.
You may find it
uninteresting but if we want to attract young people to the platform
it's going to need something a little bit more contemporary then COBO
I totally agree!
I don't like HTML very much but I do like markdown which is why I love
modern static website builders like hugo https://gohugo.io/.

I didn't know that! I thought they were binaries in /bin! Thanks ;)

We've had this conversation many times before. Utilities that use
fopen() support DD:xxx and are not likely to change.
Gil is being pedantic. But maybe IBM should update the doc?

BTW, if you want to use the delete key in the bash command line you need
to put the following line into your readline init file.
