Modula-2! Seems like Algol-60 should be next.

Why not Algol 68? You can get a modern implementation here:

And of course there is a VSCode plugin for it as well.

GNU already has an Algol-60 implementation, albeit not as a GCC front-end:

If we're going backwards in time, Algol-W should be on the list (there's a transpiler called "awe", but no actual frontend for gcc/llvm/qbe).
