- Caché ObjectScript
The original
scripting language for Caché, Caché ObjectScript is anobject-oriented language . One interesting feature of Caché ObjectScript is that it enables the intermixing ofdata access method s – developers may view data as objects, asrelational table s (usingSQL ), or asmultidimensional array s. Also, unlike some otherobject language s, Caché ObjectScript allowsstand-alone routine s. It does not require that all code be part of some objectclass method .Since Caché ObjectScript is completely compatible with
InterSystems ' other products, it is likely to be used by developers who already know Caché's multi-dimensional data format. However it should not be too hard for developers who are accustomed toobject-oriented programming techniques to make use of it.Caché ObjectScript is a functional superset of the ANSI-standard M (ie,
MUMPS ) programming language. MUMPS programmers can run existing MUMPS routines under Caché with little or no change.Caché ObjectScript offers a number of additions to ANSI-standard M including integrated support for object-oriented programming, procedure and control blocks using { } syntax and relaxed whitespace limitations.
