well, the products i know of that use MUMPS are these, ordered from least bad to most bad

  • epic
  • cerner millenium
  • meditech (an even crazier dialect of MUMPS called MAGIC)
  • intersystems' bespoke system whose name changes every 6 months
  • pretty sure 3m's emr that they're killing runs on mumps
  • VISTA
  • crazy in-house developed poo poo running on hospital mainframes from the 60s.


friend of mine got a job at Meditech a few years ago, and I got to experience the agony of learning MAGIC by proxy. The poo poo he used to tell me about that language was absolutely horrifying. For example, he could only work with a preset list of static functions baked into the language, and they all had 2-letter names. For example, converting ASCII to hex was "ZJ()" and hex to ascii was "ZH()", and one of his coworkers had written a bit for converting some data to a string for output (or something) that looked like this:

code:
/LIST.IMG[ZJ(21)_ZJ(20)_ZJ("5C")_ZJ("F9")_ZJ("4A")]
    /LIST.IMG[ZJ(21)_ZJ(20)_ZJ("5C")_ZJ("F9")_ZJ("4F")]
also his company-provided work environment was an asus eee pc running a terminal application connected to a mainframe that ran the dev environment
