Yes and know; GCC has a number of front-ends, in various stage of
production worthiness. Besides C and C++ the Ada front end is full
production quality. I think Fortran and Java are at lower levels; there
are also D, Go, and Pascal front ends.
There is a trend back towards compiled languages. Of note: D, Go, and Rust.
For whatever it's worth. :-)
