I think 99% of the folks on this forum want a language that can run in

going to use Python and couldn't give a hoot about NetRexx.
Lua is great. (Got a link to the MVS version of it?)
But language-centric ecosystems not so much. (everything from PIP to Maven)
We've lost the concept of inter-language calls.
With increasing numbers of new and amazing languages, we seem to be LESS
able to choose and use the right language for the function.
