Well the managerial consultant at the company where I used to work
wrote a version of Yacc in Turbo Prolog...

Seriously, translating the output of Yacc to any language (I've
translated it to both Rexx and 370 Assembly) automatically is quite
easy.  The combination of translated Yacc output and M2 might work
nicely for you.
