  • numbers in keys stored as packed decimals
  • multiple volume sets
  • remote volume sets, local execution of remote routines
  • online backup and restore
  • HANG supports fractional seconds
  • 3 argument $ORDER(), $QUERY() and 2 argument $DATA() functions
  • KVALUE and KSUBSCRIPTS commands
  • $LIST functions
  • $ZBIT functions, bit strings in RLE format
  • $ZINCREMENT() function
  • $ZSEND() function and method chaining with dot operator (see README.OOP)
  • $ZHOROLOG special variable, returns fractional seconds
  • ZZ commands and functions (calls tags in %ZZCMD and %ZZFN)

NOTE: There are excellent M implementations like InterSystems IRIS, YottaDB, FIS GT.M or MiniM. They have very good support. Otherwise here is the code. Good luck!
