For the curious, newer versions of MUMPS are still used as the core database framework by a lot of electronic health records companies. Most notably, it’s the backbone of Epic Systems, the largest EHR company in the US.

That was very disappointing to read. We might be migrating from an old M system (Meditech Magic) to a new M system (Epic).

At least the front end is much more modern.

Do they really use MUMPS? Not something like ObjectScript?
