The GCC compiler collection has been hit and miss though. Nobody uses gcj for example. I sort of doubt that they'll be able to implement a good compiler for a language that doesn't even have a standard without that implementation going wildly out of date in the future, just like what happened with Java. | ||||||||||||||

Since OpenJDK was released there isn't much point maintaining GCJ. | ||||||||||||||

There's two different methods by which Rust support can be added to GCC: adding a Rust frontend to GCC and adding a GCC backend to the Rust compiler (rustc_codegen_gcc). The latter approach would not be (as?) susceptible to implementation divergence as an independent frontend. | ||||||||||||||
