I've worked with 4 erps in varying capacities from amused observer to in the weeds screen dev (and mainly database administration), 3 of those 4 had custom languages and development environments, including deployments in custom things variously. These three seemed to want to reinvent programming all for their app. I was fascinated by it all. The only erp I worked on that didn't reinvent the wheel was in cobol and there these poor developers failed to use the original wheel invention. One asleep user could halt the company until the system administrator killed the screen process, the concurrency strategy used was "pessimistic" to the extent that the whole system seemed suicidal. It got replaced by erp 2.

Microsoft AX is a beast. I was both fascinated and horrified by it. I took the developer class and loved it but then was so baffled by their source control and deployment, ended up contracting anyways, our desktop dev who also took the course simply found a better job haha, I simply shrank back into my dba role and got fairly familiar with the schema and had developed what I felt were cool and snappy queries that could run without nolock, I am a long time database geek and actually got fired over the nolock keyword, well that and me being an insufferable asshole which was all the rage with dbas at the time hahaha
