Andrew, here is a way to do it:

The easiest (but far from the nicest) solution is to access MATLAB though Mathematica using MATLink.

Otherwise, I think Rohit's suggestion of interfacing with the existing C/C++ libraries using LibraryLink is the way to go. My LTemplate package should make this task easier, and the implementation more compact. It's by no means a small task though, even with LTemplate.

I am very keen to have a Mathematica version of HEALPix. I have written some code, but only a very minor subset of what is in HEALPix.

There is a Matlab version (mealpix) at Penn State. I have looked at it and it could be used as a guide. My impression is that a full working version would take a large investment of time, but would be valuable. Perhaps someone could persuade Wolfram to take it on.

Andrew,

Rather than porting HEALPix to WL, maybe you can use LibraryLink to link to the HEALPix libraries.
