Great article. I've worked with M for over 2 decades in various healthcare institutions. It's amazing how it has supported multi-user systems from 286's to minicomputers (remember them?) to IBM mainframes to today's servers. In one large company we had the same application running on OpenVMS, Unixware, Linux and Windows. While there are domains in which it is not appropriate, for storing and accessing large amounts of indexed data, it is hard to beat. And the syntax of the base language does not pose the barrier of entry that some more modern languages might. Steve |
