I quite liked working in M (fka MUMPS) when I had the chance to.
It's terse. Language commands can be abbreviated to one letter, and the syntax is whitespace-aware, so you can fit a lot of code on one computer screen, take it in, and review it.
If you're curious, I wrote a tutorial for it at https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/m/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/m/

- rpbiwer2 3y agoI always liked the abbreviated commands in M and always wondered why no other programming language (that I've used anyway) has adopted it.
