M Archive

Chris Bonnici’s M Info Source has three new M papers to his web page at http://geocities.datacellar.net/SiliconValley/7041/ref.html. The papers are:

  • System Performance: A Benchmark Study on MUMPS and Other Systems;
  • Software Engineering, Programmer Productivity and System Performance;
  • A System for Clinical Data Management.

There are some people who would like to forget about this language’s past and if possible present it as a completely new language called M. At MWM we tend to be of a different opinion as we feel that M’s past is an integral part of M. M users should be proud to use a language that has withstood the test of time. Besides, anything's present and future success is effected very little by its past; what really counts is whether it can compete in today's markets (we feel that currently M is evolving at a healthy rate). Over the years that M has been around with many a languages and tools that have come to be and no longer be. M is not one of them.

Chris Bonnici would like to extend this archive even more. Anyone who posses papers on M should get in touch with Chris Bonnici on chribonn@softhome.net so that reprint permission can be sought to put these papers online. With a sufficiently large collection, researchers, students and general surfers could get a clear idea of how the computing environment changed over the years and how M progressed to its present state.
