Neat. Are there any plans to have a front-end written in its own
language (and use the current C++ one only for bootstrapping)?
My feeling is that Google's Go (quite a nice language from the slides I just have read) is almost "canonically" the case
for a front-end plugin.
That is, gccgo could be the following shellscript
#! /bin/sh
gcc -fplugin=gofrontend.so $*
and of course we need to add into gcc-4.5 the few plugin hooks to make that
easy.
Regards.
