What is RPG? I know two things that use this AFT, but none of them are computer languages.
RPG stands for Report Program Generator.
When I began my Computer Sciences courses in the mid-late 80's, the order in which languages were taught was: BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, RPG and Assembly language. I don't know if our readers would agree this would be the appropriate order to teach or learn them, but it worked for me. It was an interesting change of pace in comparison to the computer languages used to develop commercial applications available at the time of its' release.
According to WHATIS.COM, "RPG IV, is supported by IBM's leading minicomputer system, the AS/400. Historically, RPG has probably been the second most used programming language, after COBOL, for commercial applications on mid-range computers for the popular mini-computer systems of the time".
