RTL is a bit low-level for many languages (requiring more work than
should be necessary early in the compiler). Have a look instead at
RSRE's TDF or ANDF as it is known through OSF (url anyone?). I haven't
seen any movement on ANDF for a while, but I heard that TDF level 2
(ANDF is TDF level 0 plus a bit) had been completed. At the least it
demonstrates a very different approach to RTL.
