About the Topic

MUMPS is a programming language developed in 1966 by the Massachusetts General Hospital for use in health information processing.  Its distinguishing feature is that implementation includes a built-in hierarchical database and that data persistence is built into the language. This presentation will give an overview of modern use of the language in health care and the financial sector. We will also delve into technical aspects of the language and database.
