Comment on Learn the M programming language, and teach it to others.

Comments

M(umps) is the most vile blot upon the landscape of development tools.

It rots any brain that comes into contact with it and destroys all ambitions.

A hideous fate awaits any that pass that way.

Beware - run away - run away.

Teaching Mumps to others should probably be prosecuted on a range of charges - certainly to inflict this vile heap of crap on anyone in another nation would be counted a war crime.

I wrote M/mumps/cachescript professionally for 2 years at epic systems. I think most sane people's opinion of M can be summarized as

BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!
