Interestingly enough, while during my BS CS undergrad stint (1999-2002), I learned both Ada95 and MUMPS (along with Java, Scheme, Lisp of course)...

Kevin O'Kane was teaching MUMPS because (at the time) he had one of the only MUMPS compilers out there (translation to C++ and then compiled down)... Did a lot of work in textual indexing and searching (both medical data and genomics).

I really miss the B-Tree arrays...
