C is a perfect translation target for many high-level programming languages. It can be easily used as a flexible intermediate language which is perfectly optimized, it can be built for almost any existing platform.

The following article shows a simple example of a FORTH to C translator. The author describes how to feed gdb with proper info about source language lines locations to simplity debugging and provide pretty backtraces in known IDEs.
