The original Caché scripting language, Caché ObjectScript is a powerful and easy-to-learn object-oriented language. One interesting feature of Caché ObjectScript is that it enables the intermixing of data access methods – developers may view data as objects, as relational tables (using SQL), or as multidimensional arrays. Also, unlike some other object languages, Caché ObjectScript allows stand-alone routines. It does not require that all code be part of some object class method.

Since Caché ObjectScript is completely compatible with InterSystems' other products, it is likely to be the favoured language of developers who are already familiar with Caché's multi-dimensional data format. It is also a natural choice for developers who are accustomed to object-oriented programming techniques.
