Fortran has a lot of interesting current compiler work leveraging MLIR, a subproject of LLVM: Flang [0] and CIL for C/C++/Fortran [1]. It seems like Fortran tooling is making somewhat of a comeback.

Fortran has one. But not C. What hath God wrought.

Well, in FORTRAN, GOD is REAL (and JESUS is INTEGER, but that's not as funny). Even modern fortran has to maintain this feature for legacy reasons, leading one to add 'implicit none' to the beginning of each module etc.
