Object-Oriented Programming in 4D.

An approach that models the real world.

OOP allowed us to push the 4D language far beyond what was previously possible, promising greater productivity, better code quality, and lower maintenance costs. We bet on code that is closer to human language, easier to understand, similar to modern object-oriented programming languages, and compatible with your existing code.

4D for Apple Silicon

The reason this LTS is out six months earlier than planned.

With a brand-new compiler and notable performance enhancements, 4D now runs natively on Apple computers using the Apple Silicon M1, which you and your customers will certainly be happy to use to give your 4D applications a boost right away.

4D redesigned architecture. Project Mode.

For collaboration and much, much more.

While 4D Project mode enables solo developers to keep an eye on the history of their work, and highly distributed workforces to work collaboratively, it also paves the way for many development possibilities that positively affect the end-user. Modularity. CSS. Apple M1’s remarkable performance. And we’re just getting started!

Object-Relational Data Access (ORDA).

Advanced technology for ambitious developers.

ORDA has revolutionized the way data is accessed and presented in 4D. The entire 4D database can be accessed using an object-oriented approach. Instead of representing information as tables, records, and fields, ORDA uses an alternate approach that maps data to real-world concepts more accurately.

Today's applications are forced to handle complex and large data sets. ORDA tackles this issue by providing a seamless coding experience to developers and effective insights to end-users at a reasonable timeframe.

ORDA Classes.

With great power comes great efficiency.

4D 19 drastically enhances the power of ORDA, especially with the use of classes. They allow you to combine all the benefits of an OOP language with a deep link to data.

By creating high-level class functions above the data model, you can write business-oriented code to hide complexity, reduce errors, and speed up your development process.
