Mumps

Mumps is a programming language used primarily in medical and financial information systems.

The back server for VistA the medical information system is written in Mumps.

Mumps is an old language. It was born in the days when a 16-bit address space was the state of the art in minicomputers. It shows its age. I has been called obsolete, ugly, ... It is not a fashionable language.

Mumps programmers are mostly old and gray haired, retiring and becoming a scarce resource.
