Some other language need to step up and rewrite/replace LLVM then, because no language that relies on a ~30 million loc backend written in C++ can ever hope to replace it.

Languages don't write code, people do. No one has rewritten LLVM because it already exists, and such a project would be insanely expensive for little benefit.
