Hello guys, thanks for the video! I never thought that one of the main reasons for "not switching from C/AL to C#" is a need to control/limit 3rd party code. That was interesting. If you don't mind, I want to suggest another topic for a similar video - "The inner workings of the Web Client". I was always wondering why we cannot do some basic CSS styling via AL, instead of old c/side style properties that we have now?
Let's hope someday the development of Dynamic 365 family will get the same treatment as AL does: just one single of truth code, all text based with a very good IDE and intellisense, super friendly with Git and can be easily integrated into a proper CI/CD, and of course, with very good automated tests. It was a big leap from C/SIDE to AL, some were disgruntled because of losing the easier "click-click and click" development, but I always see the text based developments is superior compared to GUI based development. Kudos for all the Microsoft 365 Business Central development team for evolving C/SIDE into AL.
