   Yikes. I've not done mumps in a long while, but I've heard from old co-workers that Cache has had a number of significant security vunerabilities in recent years.

   You are right about healthcare, for example the entire US Veteran's Administration runs on MUMPS and I think epic systems also use cache. This area is ripe for disruption, they've been stuck with the same legacy stuff for 30 year

   It's all legacy stuff, the incentive not to port is that it's too hard to do so. Most of the intersystems cutomers I have worked with want to move away to something more modern but cant.

   No, Cache is proprietary.

   I've worked with this ... MUMPS is a dead language. Cache is a proprietary implementation of mumps that costs big bucks; cache is interpreted and pretty slow compared to any other language since 1989. I wouldn't bother.
