Aside from this, I don't know of any other project now in progress to write another front end for GNU CC. Someone at Olivetti was going to work on a Modula 3 front end, but he has reportedly given up trying to persuade management to let him work on any free software. A Lisp front end of any sort might not impractical, because a Lisp compiler must normally reside within the Lisp system. If you would like to write a front end, please contact me.
