External Language Development

As an application developer, InterSystems gives you multiple options. You can

Develop using a number of external languages supported by HealthShare® Health Connect. Code written in an external language interacts with the InterSystems IRIS kernel using a driver in an InterSystems IRIS software development kit (SDK).
Develop using several embedded languages that are part of the InterSystems IRIS kernel. Code written in an embedded language executes as an InterSystems IRIS process.
