C-- provides a uniform backend for generating compiled code on many
platforms and for many language aradigms - http://www.cminusminus.org/

LLVM (low level virtual machine) is kind-of similar - http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu

There's a nifty demo - http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/demo/index.cgi - try entering

int fib (n) {
  if (n == 0) {return 1;}
  else {return n * fib (n-1);}
}

From the C-- mailing list (which has a discussion comparing the two -
can't find an archive, unfortunately, but the biggest difference is that
C-- provides a run-time interface so is better for interfacing to
different GCs etc).
