I suspect that a proper rearchitecture of the language will make pluggable front-ends much easier to do. I suspect that nobody is trying to make multiple front ends because we're too concerned about making just the first one. :-)

    Easier != possible.

    Not many concessions need to be made internally, but you do need to be able to tag specific things to compile with which front end gets it. Otherwise you cannot reuse code written for one front end in another...
