Actually, I don't think he's the only person to look at doing
something like this. My opinion is that it is probably technically
feasible, but not necessarily a good idea. Think about it this way:
If you have a C program that you want to modify, are you going to
edit the executable code or are you going to edit the C code and
recompile? Generating C++ from MUMPS is one thing, and generating
well written code that a person would actually want (be able to?)
maintain is another.

This is Kevin O'Kane's project. I think it is very interesting but
it is non-standard and
in particular does not implement standard MUMPS collation order on
globals. Not sorting
numeric subscripts in numeric order is one of the biggest remaining
impediments to
compatibility with existing applications like Fileman. I recall
from looking at its
development over the years that compatibility with standard
functions and operators has
improved quite a bit, but non-standard collation order still
remained as of the last time
I looked at it.
