My name has been mentioned a couple of times, so let me give my take.

Forget the Mumps language which always ends up being criticised for all manner of reasons, as witnessed here already.

Check out the database, however - it's the hidden treasure, which sadly gets overlooked and dismissed because of conflation with the Mumps language and its poisonous baggage.

You don't need the Mumps language to access the database. My work with it these days is in JavaScript/Node.js, using it purely as a multi-model NoSQL database, accessed in-process.

Check out what can be done with it here: http://ec2.mgateway.com/ewd/ws/training.html

In particular check out the multi-model capabilities of the database and the JavaScript-orientated abstractions that are possible - see parts 17 - 27.
