While some people are focused on new and trendy languages, Jose Marchesihas, instead, gifted the world with a GCC frontend for the Algol 68 language.

This WIP is a GCC front-end for Algol 68, the fascinating,generally poorly understood and often vilified programminglanguage. It is common knowledge that Algol 68 was well ahead ofits time back when it was introduced, and anyone who knows thelanguage well will suspect this probably still holds true today,but more than fifty years after the publication of the RevisedReport the world may finally be ready for it, or perhaps not, weshall see.

For those who see Algol 68 as too new, there was also aCOBOL front end posted in December.
