Hi:

Would Java, C, C#, or C++ be "closely related" to the programming language that Business Central is written in -- AL?

It's moving to be more C# like, but the basis is Pascal based.

Hi, I don't know the next end point of AL, but it is closely related to C/AL of NAV, and in fact accturAL evolved from C/AL.

C/AL -> AL

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/AL

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

And C/AL was based upon Pascal: PASCAL ==> CAL ==> AL ;-)

There are, imho, not much similarities with C or C++ or C#, since these are OO and AL is not OO.
