This article is terrible and I hate that people always bring it up whenever MUMPS is mentioned here.
This article is terrible and I hate that people always bring it up whenever MUMPS is mentioned here. MUMPS is easy to read, understand and maintain when written well. These examples (and the Wikipedia ones) are from code written when hospitals needed to run their whole EMR with extreme storage constraints, so more terse code was necessary to fit more on the disk. Of course they aren’t readable by modern standards.

I think the jury is still out on K3/Q3.8 and if they are equivalent to Opus or Fable.
I didn't find a direct proof earlier, just assertions - I've only seen it proved in textbooks that aren't linkable.
