What is ILE Programming?

ILE (Integrated Language Environment) programming is an IBM i (formerly AS/400) architecture that allows developers to create modular applications using multiple programming languages within the same application. It offers features like service programs (similar to DLLs), activation groups (isolated runtime environments), and exception handling across languages, leading to improved code reusability, maintainability, and performance compared to traditional RPG programming.
