Is it worth learning PL/I?

Post by RyanFox »

Hi,

I've an option to choose to get in to a project where in I can get to work on PL/I, though, I need to lean it. Is it worth learning PL/I, in this age of computing? What are your opinions?

I'd say that's a question of choice. If you're a programmer, and choose to stay in this filed - learning 'a new language' is always welcome, provided your time permits. Here is some details on PL/I: viewtopic.php?style=1&f=16&t=11

Just from experience and it's not a biased statement - If you're in the Country where outsourced work is available - learning PL/I should be a good decision.
Thanks,
Anuj
