It also matters in order to do things which do not involve the database, e.g. implement complex algorithms in pure ABL. It would allow to have more ABL libraries, without relying on external dll or .Net (not Unix friendly) and build a more comprehensive ecosystem. Finally as I'm one of those writing a lot of code without any db access (e.g. pdfInclude
