It's also written in an obsolete, obscure programming language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS .

Mumps is also used by Epic, the market leader and various banks. It or a variant is being developed by InterSystems who claim their system is the world’s fastest object database. So it struggles on. It actually sounds quite interesting tech.
I wouldn't call it obsolete (since it's still actively being used/developed in) or obscure (since there's a large and active user base). But it is a unique programming language.
