Said MUMPS programmer from the last link here.

I kept working with MUMPS, although it became much more Caché ObjectScript over the years, until this March.

I’ve moved on to doing other things now, but I can see myself absolutely going back to it. But not until I’m much older.

It’s cozy, it’s comfortable and it does so many complicated things just more easily than so many other programming environments. The only thing I won’t miss is the complete lack of strict typing, a charge that can be laid on many other programming languages too.
