Yes, Intersystems has developers, support engineers, and salesmen who worked for other mv vendors. But Cache isn't jbase-centric. It has emulations for all the MV variants.
Mumps is still around, though most of the large vendors were consolidated by Intersystems. After that, Intersystems developed it into the object-oriented Cache platform, and continues to add features, though now they are Cache features rather than Mumps features, and available whether you choose to develop in Object Script (which looks like mumps) or multivalue basic.
