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.

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

    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.

    Imagine JS and C# had a baby, and it was mentally challenged.

    I thought jscript was just javascript, but called that because of ✨Trademark Issues✨

    X++

    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????

    Yeppers. When I worked on a D365 transition we were upgrading from a 1980s era DOS based thing (D3 aka Pick). We literally had like one of the last Pick developers left on earth. He ended up training his two kids on the system so they could take over for him. They all ended up having to learn X++ instead. I wonder which was worse to deal with.

    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.
