Back from 1990 to 1998 I worked a systems programmer for an IBM contractor, supporting one of their software dev shops. I got quite good with REXX on VM and OS/390 and was fortunate enough to have access to IBM's internal mainframe network VNET and their VMTOOLS and MVSTOOLS repositories. They had tons of add-ons which were free of use inside the company.
One of my projects was updating my shop's APAR/PTF creation tools from poorly written REXX scripts to fast/furious compiled REXX with a 3270 GUI interface using an internal tool called NEATWIND. The developers (all ASM/370 geeks) loved it and I had a blast doing it.

It is all irrelevant in the real world.
Because 100% of the 50% (below 100) have drivers licenses. And I guarantee that you will be driving behind one (or more) of them on the way home.
Ahhh the memories!
