It's not particularly likely that cmd/compile/internal/gc will be replaced by go/parser, go/ast, and friends. The packages are optimized in different ways for different purposes. It is likely that cmd/compile/internal/gc will continue to be rewritten and improved from its original C roots. There was a lot of work on that in the 1.9 cycle, and it will continue.
