Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 5, Utility: 4)

ABC is a small C-like teaching language originally created for a high-performance computing course, now evolved with multiple backends including LLVM and initial x86-64 System V ABI support. It enables students to build a complete toolchain from hardware to language, and its self-hosting compiler demonstrates practical compiler construction.

Target audience: compiler students, educators, systems programmers
