"A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied in the design of C++0x. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO C++ standards committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an hour, I'll take questions." Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup is the original designer and implementer of the C++ Programming Language.

And I quote:
"The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada"
Objective-C is virtually unused and unsupported outside of OS X. Fortran is a niche language these days and only used within certain high performance computing circles. Ada is even less used and less supported than Fortran in the real world. Java could be a contender, but the gcc support is woefully behind and incomplete.
So I fail to see what your link is supposed to prove. C and C++ are in fact the only widely supported language that compiles to native machine code.
