IIRC Fil-C is already documented to work with C++. It's not immediately obvious to me that there are any fundamental reasons Fil-C wouldn't work for Fortran and "lots of others" as well; a fairly large chunk of its work is done via a pass on LLVM IR [0] so anything that compiles to LLVM could reap Fil-C's benefits with (probably?) relatively minor alterations to frontends.

- pizlonator 11mo agoYeah, putting Fortran through the Fil-C pipeline is just a matter of a handful of hacks in flang.
