With the VA dropping Vista what happens to that army of Mumps
programmers they had? Can't see much call for them in the IT
world today. Seems like a worse fate than COBOL Programmers.

They can apply at epic systems in Verona, Wisconsin. They are underlying infrastructure
is based on mice and mumps.

Hello,
Yes, Epic is the most popular electronic medical records vendor and their backend is MUMPS
(originally MIIS). I don’t work for them but I do work for one of their large customers
writing custom MUMPS code.

My wife is in medical practice management. That explains a lot.

Yup… I’m so glad I taught myself MUMPS when others thought it wouldn’t be of much use.
It’s my favorite language and it got me a really great job which I enjoy. I get constant
inquiries from recruiters (in fact my current employer (who I’ve been with 10 years)
recruited me away from my previous employer). There is always the risk of getting
outsourced in this industry of course but so far, they seem to have difficulty finding
MUMPS resources in India (so it’s a little safer than being a COBOL programmer in that
regard).
