But this comment doesn't ever mention specifically what makes his suggestion "look like" the given examples. I find it highly unlikely, given all the available networking/comm libraries available that old, proprietary IBM code would be used. Maybe there's something to it, but he certainly didn't mention anything convincing.

More unusual (to me) is that there are two separate comments suggesting it may be RPG (an OS400/iSeries language), which is very unlikely due to it not being an OOP language therefore not having constructor/destructor functionality, and otherwise a very high level language.

I'd guess some high level assembly, though this suggestion does look interesting.
