MUMPS BackGround:
Massachusetts General Hospital's Utility Multi-Programming System, (MUMPS) or alternatively M, was a programming language created in the late 1960s, originally for use in the healthcare industry. It was designed to make writing database-driven applications easy while simultaneously making efficient use of computing resources.
MUMPS was adopted as the language-of-choice for many healthcare and financial information systems/databases, especially ones developed in the 1970s and early 1980s. MUMPS continues to be used by many of the same clients today. It is currently used by the world's largest electronic health record systems as well as by multiple banking networks and online trading/investment services.
Because it predates C and most other popular languages in current usage, it has very different syntax and terminology. It offers a number of features unavailable in other languages, including some rarely used programming and database concepts.
