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.
