The article mentions possible ABI compatibility challenges and I also think it’s not a good thing for a language in such critical applications to only have a single major implementation.
- eptcyka 6y agoThe linux kernel still can only be compiled with GCC. Of course, it's a single patch away from clang compatibility, but the kernel has never been compilable with much else but GCC.
- pjmlp 6y agoAndroid and ChromeOS beg to differ, as Google has been using clang with them for at least around three years now.
- eptcyka 6y agoYes, clang compatibility is a single patch away. Google, unlike the vast majority of companies out there, is capable of maintaining it's own forks of the kernel.
