M / Mumps is a terrible language / datastore to deal with however.
- ci5er 10y agoThe language is ... odd. For me, ... not good. But the datastore itself reminds me of some of those early NoSQL object stores. It isn't JSON, but you can throw anything in there and get it back -- pretty efficiently! It's hard to table-ize a lot of clinical data - at least with a standard/universal table. GT.M gives you a solid enterprise quality way to store "stuff".
- cordite 10y agoAs a language user, it is really just a semi-structured assembly-style everything-is-string and global-memory as a hierarchical tree map. The language comes with transaction support, though one can use mutexes instead for performance reasons.
