I understand them - they indeed provide the cloud infrastructure to host the development and to build and deploy containers then. Somebody pays for all this pleasure.

Nobody prevents from setting up the personal infrastructure similar to CodeSpaces even now. I don't see very much need for myself yet - my mac laptop is enough productive with VSCode and Docker desktop installed.

Codespaces allows you extensions and even docker images creation and deployment!

Fascinating technology, I was able to code from iPad on IRIS! :)

I never tried that! It'd be great to see Co-Pilot working with ObjectScript!

And with Embedded Python too, of course :)

Though I agree on the power of generators and projections IMHO it significantly raises the complexity of solutions. And I'm not sure how popular is the usage amongst the community, we could make a poll.

Moreover, I met the opinion that some powerful features of IRIS like indirection are completely useless and dangerous (I disagree of course as a fan of indirection).

I'm 100% for the usage of powerful things if we can keep readability and maintainability.

And of course, people will use the technology immediately once see the obvious value.

Looks like IRIS BI MDX syntax

Interesting, @Timothy Leavitt! Do you use metaprogramming at work? Could you please share an example - and even hope we have it on the OEX? 

Wow. That's a lot!

I think we need a function that will export all such globals. If there is not in the %SYS we should add a such as a ZPM module.

What is the full list of ROUTINES globals? 

And if you will use CronMaker you can go with two following commands.

First to start Production every working morning:

USER>zw ##class(dc.cron.task).Start("Start Production","0 0 8 ? * MON-FRI *","##class(Ens.Director).StartProduction(""InsertNameOfYouPrduction"")",1,.taskId)

And to stop Production every working evening:

USER>zw ##class(dc.cron.task).Start("Start Production","0 0 8 ? * MON-FRI *
","##class(Ens.Director).StopProduction(60,0)",1,.taskId)

@Muhammad Waseem , if you consider using tasks, I suggest you take a look at iris-cron-task app, that let's you run IRIS tasks with cron syntax:

E.g. this is for every hour: 

USER>zw ##class(dc.cron.task).Start("IRIS cron task name","0 * * * *","s ^B($I(^B))=$H",1,.taskId)
