FWIW, for completeness, I can think of some other related work: A+ 
(another APL derived language, also GPL*) has long bundled an XEmacs 
mode for A+ in its source tarball.  However, you may well be better off 
going your own way, IIRC it doesn't really adhere to emacsy conventions
and I don't think it was GNU Emacs compatible anyway.

(As it happens, J, a powerful ASCIIfied APL language, also went GPL 
recently. No Free APL for ages than 3 come along at once, etc. (well, A+ 
has been free for a fairly long time))


* and bear in mind "GPL" doesn't mean "copyright assigned to FSF" - 
relevant for emacs contribs.
