JC, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I don't think that this is the
right forum for discussions about LLVM vs GCC. If you'd like to
discuss LLVM, please take it to an LLVM-related mailing list.
GCC has a long life ahead of it, and LLVM is certainly not going to
cause cessation of GCC development. The two projects have very
different goals - even though people like to focus on areas where the
goals overlap, there are large areas where either project is far more
suitable than the other.
This is not the right forum for proselyting LLVM vs GCC. That said,
anyone interested in LLVM is very welcome to contribute to it, just
please discuss it on an llvm list.
Thanks!
