About C/al

C/al was created in the late 1980s as part of the Navision software, which was developed by the Danish company PC&C A/S. It was designed to provide a flexible and powerful language for customizing and extending the functionality of their ERP system. Microsoft acquired Navision in 2002, integrating C/al into Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

Strengths of C/al included its tight integration with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, ease of use for business logic customization, and strong support for ERP functionalities. Weaknesses involved its limited use outside of Dynamics NAV, a steep learning curve for new developers, and less modern syntax compared to newer languages. Competitors included SAP ABAP, Oracle PL/SQL, and other ERP-specific programming languages.
