I do not know RPG (except by name, for 40+ years), never programmed it, yet I am curious to your criteria for classifying RPG (or any other language as "primitive". Is it primarily because it is lacking certain features (if so: which features?) Or is it primarily for the way it is doing things?
I am curious to how well such evaluation criteria - in a language independent from - would classify the languages of today, and their early versions, as "primitive". Was the original strostrup C++ language "primitive"? Was C&R C? Did C# start out as a "primitive" language, but at some version had developed to "non-primitive" and maybe later to "advanced"?
I must admit that I think the last half dozen or so revisions of C++ and C# have brought "advanced" features that I'd rather be without!

last time I saw that was 1996. Interesting how much "old" code is still around and needing support.

If by "support" you mean "active development" then yes

I worked for a company that did. They were starting to connect to the db using .net with an ec2 connection to replace the old green screen with a new website. It's been YEARS but I'm not sure they've completely gotten rid of it. They had about a half dozen rpg programmers at the time so it's not completely a dead language.

With an average age of 80?
Still, half a dozen ain't bad.

While we only have four setters, perhaps take Friday in order?
So Pete took it today, next week would be Peter_in_2780, then you, ending with me and back to Pete?

Camera SVG rendered to PNG[^]
This is my current render of the final test document for my initial round of tests. It's got many complicated overlapping, semi-transparent gradients all xlink:href'd together.
It's not quite as fast as I'd like, because I traded away speed to dramatically reduce memory usage and increase flexibility, but it should be fast enough for small renders, which is what it's primarily meant for.
I still have more to do but it's basically just mop up at this point, with the largest task being to implement some baseline CSS support (selectors for classes and ids only so I don't need a DOM)
I'm thrilled.
