Argo also annoyed me.  It's typically bloated for  Java app.  No I didn't try 
a JIT compiler on it.  Maybe now that they have a new version...

The redoubtable Lars Marius Garshol is already working on a UxF --> Python 
generator, and I'm working on Python --> UxF.  Mr. Suzuki himself is working 
on C++, and I invite someone to take on Java.

BTW, I am hoping to present on UxF at UML '99, which is in my own fair city of 
Ft. Collins, CO this year.

More code == merrier!
