Well, the other language you can work in at Epic is Visual Basic 6, which powers the backend of the patient portal. Newer features are in C#, but anything developed before a few years ago (which are the core features) is all in VB6. Not VB.NET (unless it's changed since I worked there), actual honest to god VB6 plugged into IIS.
It's a lot like PHP, in that everything is performed by string concatenation, except that unlike PHP the language was EOLed in 2003.
