Depends. You can use OData in a variety of languages.

CRM provides two OData based services, check out Use Microsoft Dynamics 365 web services.

Web API

The Web API is new for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises) and will provide parity with the Organization service. Compared to the Organization service, the Web API provides better compatibility across a wide variety of programming languages, platforms, and devices. The Web API implements the OData (Open Data Protocol) v4.

The web api is new, and can be easily used outside of CRM in multiple languages and platforms.

Organization Data service

The Organization Data service, also sometimes known as the “OData” or “REST” endpoint has also been available since Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. This service implemented the OData v2 standard. While this service will continue to be available as-is for years to come, we are deprecating it with Microsoft Dynamics 365.

The organization data service is old (and deprecated), this was harder to use outside of CRM. Most of the time people used JavaScript to access it from within CRM.
