Briefly:

The two C compilers are both good, as are a couple of the freeware C compilers

The M2's are pretty good.

There is an OK commercial Pascal and an OK PD Pascal

There are excellent commercial forths

The PD lisp and prolog scene is pretty good.

There is an excellent Draco, and Oberon has recently appeared.

There are two C++ systems, but not the latest version.

There is a good Fortran, and several decent Basics.

AREXX is a very fine implementation of IBM mainframe REXX, and
then some.

NOTABLY MISSING?  Smalltalk, SQL, Mathematica, Obj-C, Eiffel
                  COBOL

What'd I forget??
