Re: Progress on GCC plugins ?

I have a different fear: that gcc will become increasing irrelevant,
as more and more new programmers learn to work on alternative free

will tend to lose the many years of experience which have been put
into gcc.  In my view, if we can't even get ourselves together to
permit something as simple as plugins with an unstable API, then we
deserve to lose.

That's precisely my concern.
