I guess I should have put a /s but I thought it was pretty obvious. The 68 in Algol 68 is 1968. COBOL is from 1959. Modula-2 is from 1977.
My point exactly was that all the hot new languages are built with LLVM while the “new” language options on GCC are languages from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s.
I am not even exaggerating. That is just what the projects look like right now.
GCC is adding cool new languages too!
They just recently added COBOL and Modula-2. Algol 68 is coming in GCC 16.

If Algol68 is from 1968, shouldn’t Modula-2 be from 1898?
It’s new to gcc!
