Clang builds the kernel, EFF leaves W3C... What's next ? Amazon rewrites libc ?

  1000 years of darkness!!!

  Every C compiler has a libc.

    I didn't know... https://libcxx.llvm.org/ https://libcxx.llvm.org/ But according to what I see on that page, my interrogation remains : once the kernel is built without gcc, then GNU's power will fade away. GPL and HTML have, in their own ways, enforced that some important code remains open (and sharable and modifiable). By weakening them, the openness will be weakened too. Of course it won't be 1000 years of darkness, but well, it makes me a bit sad :-)

      Why do you think Apple, Google, Sony, Nintendo and many other embedded OEMs have moved to clang? It wasn't only due to the better plugin support.
