Can the X++ language be used for the following development?

Question

I'm interested in developing primarily games and websites. Is X++ a suitable language for this?

Answer 1

In terms of your "Can it be used?" title, possibly, but it seems to be targeted to business oriented applications:

X++ is an object-oriented language with similarities to C#. X++ is part of the MorphX development platform that you use to construct accounting and business management systems. ^(a)

That means, in terms of your "Is it suitable?" in the body of your question, almost certainly not.

In the sense that you could also write accounting applications in BCPL, or web servers in COBOL-85, then yes, it's probably doable. Whether it's a good idea, that's a different matter.

Answer 2

X++ is targeted for at business ERP domain and it would not support game or generic website development very well.

And X++ is a rather slow language in itself. It has it strengths around database access.

Answer 3

x++ is a language that is primarily used to customize Microsoft's ERP package known as Dynamics AX. Inside of the Dynamics environment, you could develop games (Dynamics does include a version of Tetris in the code tutorials).

Due to the fact that it is not generally used outside of the Dynamics AX environment, I would not suggest learning it for the purpose of writing games.

Answer 4

X++ is used only for the Microsoft Dynamics ERP development(for now). It's an OOP language however it's scope is out of game dev.
