Ehhh,
seems like an awfull lot of work to me.
Writing a translator for IDL source-code to C++ isn't impossible.
(Even the weak/strong type issues can be solved.)
But how do you plan to include the "internal" IDL-functions ?
(like plot, surface, where etc...)
I think it's a waste of energy and while I see the advantages of a
IDL->C++ translator, rewriting IDL isn't the solution I think.
There are other free/open source alternatives to IDL out there (though I
haven't tried/used them). I think it's easier to adapt them.
