GLPK implementation of the MathProg language is not very efficient,
so huge models cannot be processed by the translator.

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,
