Out of curiosity: what do you touch with a ten foot pole? I'd be hard-pressed to call GCC or MSVC much better in that regard, and I can think of very few others that are in use anymore.
I mean, I've definitely dreamt about using SBCL or Clozure for things other than Lisp (seeing as they both include their own compilers not dependent on GCC/LLVM), but I've seen effectively zero effort in that direction.
