There's another idea for more language back-ends. Antlr has lots of back-ends, maintained by different people. However, the back-ends can be of low quality, and they're normally produced long after updates to the base code. I'm not saying that more language support is a bad idea, but I think you need to think carefully about how they're all going to be maintained.
One idea I have, is to create a core language with the possibility to translate into several languages. The point is that the parser needs a rather limited set of language features. This is still, though, not a very easy one.
