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!

-Chris
