If you develop in IRIS you are confronted with two major phenomena:
- an incredibly fast and excellent designed data storage engine
- a scripting language to work on this storage engine, actually named ObjectScript
InterSystems ObjectScript is a scripting language to operate with data using any data model of InterSystems Data Platform (Objects, Relational, Key-Value, Document, Globals) and to develop business logic for serverside applications on InterSystems Data Platform.
