Wasn't a typo. X++ is a C++ Derivative though, so at-least there you are lucky.

Also. wow. Another off-topic post. Though, this is better for General Development.


And good luck.

Good lord. Why do companies do this? What on earth can X++ do that a more well-documented, well-supported, well-integrated .NET language family member such as C#, C++/CLI, or VB.NET cannot?

EDIT: Well, nevermind. X++ is part of a whole different family of products that run on .NET (may have known that if I had read the link above lol). It is mentioned here to be part of the Microsoft Dynamics AX family. Whatever that is lol.
