Modern Tooling - Overlap

● git

● Node.js

● perl

● python

Modern Tooling - Parallels

● Symbolic substitution - &SYSNAME. ● Mustache, handlebars - {{ }}

14


Modern Tooling - Integrations

● RDz / Eclipse plugins

● Jenkins plugins

● CI tools

Modern Tooling - z/OS Limitations

16


Development is Complicated

● Hybrid development - TypeScript (Node.js), Spring (Java), C++, Metal C, assembler, makefile, JCL ○ source controlled via git/GitHub ○ delivered through Endevor

● Team members use different editors, diff tools, git clients

● CLI, scripts, and task runner are common pieces
