Any chance of getting M (MUMPS) added to the programming language list in user profiles? Scary to say, I actually program in this language daily and would like to try the problems in it.

Scary indeed. At least if we believe http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/A_Case_ ... MUMPS.aspx.

I actually work at that company and love it -- I was being somewhat facetious in my original post. I've been coding in MUMPS for a couple years now and, frankly, it has a lot of really nice features that other languages don't have.

It can't do everything (UIs suck) but it's great for manipulating massive amounts of data in very elegant ways.

Anyways, a language option for MUMPS would be nice.

euler is away for a few days, he'll consider it when he's back.

But you almost asked for the reference, didn't you?

I can't confirm if that exact story is true, but the company it refers to certainly is because I work there and the sentiment expressed is shared by some.

Done.
