I do, but on a more hobbyist level:

HP-GL is a very simple language, just pen up/down and coordinates. It
shouldn't be hard to rewrite the G-code exporter to write files for this
controller.

Another option might be to retrofit a RepRap controller, they talk
G-code, can do some 12'000 steps/second in standard mode and 48'000
steps/second in a recently upcoming, more computing effective mode. Has
been done for quite a number of older CNCs already.
