"because it is an ordered key-value store, FoundationDB can use range reads to efficiently scan large swaths of data"

I wonder how it compares to MUMPS databases like Intersystems Cache and FIS GtM?

Also, the obvious difference is that Caché is closed source and prohibitively expensive.
FiS is only FOSS on selected platforms (Linux x86, OpenVMS Alpha), and proprietary on all other platforms.
Worked a job once where that was the underlying data store.
I was only allowed to touch the SQL interface to it, which was....weird.
The SQL dialect was ancient, felt like something from about 1990 (and this was in.... 2012 or so, so not THAT long ago).
Query performance seemed invariant. A simple select * from foo where id=X and a monster programatically generated join across 15 tables would both take about 1.5 seconds to return results.
