Oberon is not just an arbitrary other language, it is Pascals younger
brother and ALGOL is their mother and it is told that the same guy named
Wirth was around at ETH Zürich both times when they were created.

I'm not sure how flexible the compiler is and how easy or difficult
implementing a new frontend would be, not all the languages in your list
are statically typed so much of them wouldn't make sense at all for this
compiler, but maybe ALGOL, Modula and Euler would be cool also, to make
this family of languages more complete.

And maybe Ada should also be worth thinking about? Ada would be even
cooler and has a lot more practical applications than Oberon or Modula,
and maybe even the US DoD would start supporting the ompiler ;-)
