About Natural
Natural was created by Software AG in 1979 to provide a more efficient way to develop business applications. It aimed to simplify and accelerate the programming process compared to third-generation languages, offering features such as high-level syntax and integration with the Adabas database. Over time, it evolved to include support for both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
Strengths of Natural include rapid application development, strong integration with Adabas, and support for both procedural and object-oriented programming. Weaknesses are its reliance on a specific database (Adabas) and limited modern community support. Competitors include COBOL, RPG, and newer languages like Java and C#.
