- xyzzy_plugh 6y agoIsn't this the other way around? LLVM makes it easy to embed parts of the project into IDEs, linters, etc. My understanding was that Stallman continually fought to keep GCC difficult to avoid linking with if you wanted to use parts of it. As I see it, once LLVM became competitive with GCC, adoption quickly accelerated due to liberal licensing.
