Fun fact, making extensions for this requires you to learn a new language called X++ that is based on .net framework 4.7. Development is done only on azure-hosted VMs that contain the application code and sql server and web host and visual studio with the special X++ build tools, all on one host that runs like shit at your expense.
I just went through that for a while and saw nothing that doesn’t look exactly like C#. If it’s based around .NET and looks exactly like C#, why the fuck not just use C#?
As somebody who first started coding BASIC on an Apple IIe in 1981, I am just so tired of new languages. They all do basically the same shit and there’s just no real point to any of them.
I searched it up so you don’t have to (it’s surprisingly hard to find example code for, the first one I found was literally a screenshot on a Microsoft blogpost.)
You really couldn’t just use C# for this Microsoft? REALLY???
I have been developing plugins for dynamics 365 crm for the last few years and have never heard of x++.
Plugins for the crm are developed in c#/.NET 4.6.2.
The only x++ reference I could find in the Microsoft documentation with a quick search was referencing the finance and operations apps. So there seems to be some variance in the products.
Couldn’t tell you, I don’t know what AL is. Dynamics is actually a bunch of different enterprise apps loosely lashed together with twine, so X++ might only be for Finance & Operations.

This sounds like something a programmer would come up with as a joke, but because it’s Microsoft, I believe you.

Imagine JS and C# had a baby, and it was mentally challenged.
We had that in 1999 - JScript
I thought jscript was just javascript, but called that because of ✨Trademark Issues✨
C# was originally J++ which was originally Java++ until Sun sued MS.
Of course they sued them.
I supported standard JDK stuff but had lots of Visual Basic and Windows extras.

no. how else would a middle manager pad his CV with “lead the development of an important new programming language used by millions of customers”?
How funny. I worked with Dynamics CRM years ago and we did use C#. What the actual fuck are they doing now…
Fuck everything about this.

Yeah, I admitted in another comment that it may only be for Dynamics F&O.
I think I just suffered a mild stroke reading this.
No. No. No. No. No MS. No!

Wait, this isn’t satire?
X++? What happened to AL?

Ah ok. Microsoft and their naming things… But interesting to know :)
AL is for another ERP system D365 business central. Completely different platform from F&O
