"I don't think there's any other language with as many independent production-quality implementations." - C++?


Yeah, it looks like you might be right. I just looked it up and there's a ton of C++ compilers I'd never heard of before.


Sure, but the number might fool you. Not every C++ compiler is standards-compliant, and at least on the PC side, many of the good compilers bought the frontend from the Edison Design Group and focussed on the backend.
