Java? Perhaps, but a native Python interface via the C/C++ API to the GT.M data store would be very cool. Then parts of VistA could be gradually re-written or extended in a more modern, object oriented language which is just as productive as MUMPS. Is the C/C++ API published anywhere? > My initial impression is that it would be easier to just rewrite GT.M > interpreter in Java and provide a MUMPS API interface to the data. Um, I wonder how many person-years went into GT.M - quite a few, I suspect. Rewriting it in Java sounds like a very major undertaking.
