I'm not sure what the state of Matlab Emacs support is, but I can
comment on the feasibility of porting IDLWAVE to Matlab: very, very
difficult. That said, the original IDL (idl.el) mode written by Chris
Chase almost 10 years ago was based on the programming mode for pascal
(though IDLWAVE has evolved far, far beyond that these days). More and
more of the advanced IDLWAVE features rely on communicating with the
IDL process. Even the buffer-edit-only features have all kinds of
hard-coded assumptions and knowledge of IDL syntax implicit.
I'd explore existing code first, if even only as a rudimentary starting
point. Then of course you can always look to IDLWAVE for good feature
ideas ;).
Good luck,
JD
