Why is the implementation language important to you as a user?
- endorphone 8y agoTheir interest seems to be primarily in alter the toolchain itself. To make this a multi-use comment, I'll also reply to GP and say that in every single case where I've benchmarked time sensitive code, GCC has generated faster, tighter code. I still primarily use clang for other reasons, but saying that GCC is more performant seems to be entirely valid.
- maxerickson 8y agoThe answer is in the paragraph you quoted from. "work with" includes extending the implementation.
