While this seems very nice, I'm a bit disappointed to see that it seems focused only on C, Fortran and PHP. Since it seems that ROSE operates directly on ASTs, I see no reason why the project couldn't be language-agnostic if given appropriate information about the AST to be processed. (Of course, as this project was originally started for the DOE's purposes, it seems that it might just be a matter of simplicity)

ROSE has been around for a long time, and from what I've heard there's tons of legacy code. I wouldn't be surprised if there's significant technical debt or other structural limitations. That said, I don't really know anything firsthand about the architecture.
