Parent article: Things that go Clang in the night: LLVM 2.4 released (ars technica)
In the comparison between GCC's C and C++ frontends and Clang, Clang is smaller and faster and more reusable. Is that what you're complaining about? That it doesn't support non-C-like languages?
g77, gfortran, GNAT, etc. are all different front ends. Nothing stops LLVM from getting front ends for those languages at some point.
