I doubt it. In faculties CS students will always have to learn different
types of assembly and in most cases x86 and growingly MMIX are the
languages of choice. Whether a compiler for such a theoretical machine
is really useful is a different matter though I can imagine that using
MMIX and the pipeline simulator might become a useful tool for gcc
performance testing.
