The point with moca and the reason for the pride of the author was that the
program was re-written in another language without loosing readability. It was
a matter of translation instead of compilation if I should put a name on the
process.
This means that there is prior art with regards to translating from a language
to another and keeping the result readable. I suspect that it is easier to do
this for fortran to ada than from c/c++ to ada.
Anybody interested should inspect the moca compiler and the cocktail kit to
decide for themselves whether the author is right about his claim.
