It depends on which bits of C99 it needs, see /sys/src/cmd/cc/c99 in any 9front distribution for an example.

I can't speak for any maintainers, but if there's any C99 thing that Nim needs that the C compilers lack: "patches welcome" IMO.

There's also Nim. Kinda like a Python that compiles to C or other languages
like JavaScript. Might be the easy to port.

Nim is easy to port but to get the stock memory management to work
it needs a C99 compiler, which is not available for 9front.

I've already ported and tested some of the standard library.

Nim only looks like Python. It's actually something like a Pascal.
