Evolution of ABAP
SAP ABAP began in the 1980s as a report-generation language in SAP products. It took on a central role in SAP R/3 as the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system's primary implementation and extension language. Over the years, it gained new features, most notably the introduction of object-oriented constructs, referred to as ABAP Objects, in 1999 and the introduction of new database access methods and a large amount of new syntax starting around 2010.
ABAP features are tightly coupled with the SAP R/3 or NetWeaver release that is being used. The only way to access new features of the language is to upgrade to a newer release of the ABAP application server. In many cases, programs written using features of a newer application server version will not run on older SAP systems.
ABAP development tools
By far the largest developer of ABAP code is SAP itself. However, many thousands of ABAP developers work with SAP customers and consulting companies to maintain and modify SAP systems. ABAP is regularly in the top 30 of the Tiobe Index, which roughly tracks the popularity of programming languages.
Developers who work in ABAP usually do so either in the ABAP Development Tools (a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse open source Java development platform) or in the ABAP Workbench transaction in the SAP graphical user interface (GUI). Both environments offer a set of tools to assist development, from code completion to automated testing tools.
