Will C,C++,Fortran77,Fortran95,Java,Chill,Pascal (Borland Objects Oriented
extensions), and Ada95 be the complete collection of compilers into GCC
(whith a common IDE)?
There exit other language projects GNU (of FSF?) as Scheme,as Lisp, as
Prolog ... will they be in any future GCC?.
Thanks

As of GCC 3.0, C, C++, Objective C, Fortran 77, Java, Chill, Pascal
and Ada 95 will probably be the languages that GCC compiles. No one
knows what it will eventually handle. There never will be a common IDE -
other projects - EMACS, GIDE - handle this role for GNU.

GCC is a common backend. The list above is the entire list of functioning
GNU frontends to the GCC backend, and hence the only projects that could
be included.

No, we can't promise that we won't add others. :-) Also, while many
of us would love to see Ada, Pascal and others folded in, this doesn't
happen unless someone makes it happen (so no promises). Also, things
like Fortran95 will require that someone also donate a compiler for
it, as we don't have a complete solution to that today.

Since there is no IDE, I guess it is trivially common.

Doesn't make much since in the shorter term unless they are compiled.
Long term, only if it is somehow better. We don't yet know of any
compelling reasons, so we have not done so. In the future, there may
(or may not be) compelling reasons. Only time will tell.
