I worked on an AS/400 system 4 years ago during an high school internship in Italy. It's still used in a medium-size company. It was painful at first but since my first language was Pascal the difference was bearable. Sure it helped me with my formation as a young developer. Anyway, it was fast and sure AS/400 still can be competitive but in a business pov it is a mess: there are almost no developers with an adequate formation and the old developers are close to retirement. My main accomplishment was to run battleship and some other games, I'll find the link with the library to install if I have time.
