Less Platform Knowledge Required
The consistent run-time environment of a 4GL like Progress insulates the developer from many platform management concerns. There is little or no need to learn the compilers, linkers, and debuggers of the environment where the application is developed and deployed.
Along with offering the developer greater independence from the platform on which they work, the self-contained run-time environment of a 4GL is often portable across many platforms. Progress is the most flexible and complete of these run-time 4GLs, because it both provides a common language to interact with many platforms and optimizes that language to interact with many of the unique features of each platform.
