HI,
i have been checking the different options to write procedures with sap hana, and i see L language is an option. when i go to wikipedia i see there are several L-languages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_programming_language
can anyone tell me or give a link to the one SAP is using internally?
ciao,
m.
I'm in HANA training at the moment, and it was mentioned that L is now supported. Has support from SAP now changed?

Yes, I can confirm that the use of the L language in HANA is NOT supported by SAP for customer or partner use.

Hi,
Agree with you Rich, we get many times this question from EOM partners and others.
Complex analytics computation (ex some Sybase ( in finance) ASE customers are developping UDF rutines in C or C++) cannot be written in SQLScript (procedural langage) and even the great XE engine with JavaScript will not - pardon me if I am wrong - do what C or C++ can do internally. That's the reasons why SAP create the AFL libraries right?
Thanks
Patrick
AFAIK, SAP uses L Language for developing the internal functions in AFL libraries, including, but not restricted to, BFL (Business Function Library) and PAL (Predictive Analysis Library).
As Patrick mentioned, I think it's still the case that L is not supported for customer usage.

I'm not sure if this is still the case but see this previous post regarding L. According to Lars it is not supported for customers, at least at the time of the previous post in May:
