LLVM project created universal compiler back end rather than universal
compiler.
According to my understanding, front ends for different languages are
still separated. Sometimes even the same language has different front
ends on different OSes.
That is not to different from what DEC did on VMS eons ago. Similar
things were done on Java platform, .Net platform and on Dalvik/ART. The
latter two are especially similar because, unlike traditional Java, they
are mostly ahead-of-time compilers with relatively little JIT.

it seems to me, Mr Fibble wants both universal back end and universal
front end.
