I did a similar such talk at DConf 2013 with my GCC front-end for the
D programming language (GDC).  Not sure if would be relevant a GCC
conference, but I could think about some of the challenges I've faced.
:o)

In any case, I would be interested in attending this - just to get a
better feel of the community, as a definite future goal would be to
get the D front-end merged into GCC proper as an officially supported
language.
