I read that "... the mathprog translator is greedy to the memory

GLPK implementation of the MathProg language is not very efficient,
so huge models cannot be processed by the translator.
One reason I am
learning GMPL is to be able to use GLPK. Would you recommend me an
other language in that case?
Which language do you mean? Programming language or modeling one?
I was asking about modeling languages for LP,IP,MIP. Let me rephrase my
question: In order to use the highest number of GPL or open source solvers
out there which modeling language would you people recommend learning?
I thought GMPL/AMPL was the best choice however, what is the path, then, to
follow in order to translate huge models to mps?
I use Java Programming language to create my mod/dat files. Would it be
best if I learn the MPS format itself and author my instances directly into
MPS? How doable is this for a human being? Could you please give me some
more insight as to what the alternatives might be?
Thank you,
