Apple should be ashamed. Microsoft does so much for open source (VS code, typescript, .NET, Blazor and dozens other projects) and even Goolge does quite a lot.

Apple should be ashamed. Microsoft does so much for open source (VS code, typescript, .NET, Blazor and dozens other projects) and even Goolge does quite a lot. And only $Apple$ is an ego-driven company that only cares how to squeeze as much money as possible from customers.

Apple may have to be ashamed, but bringing up Microsoft as a good OSS citizen? https://medium.com/@keivan/the-day-appget-died-e9a5c96c8b22 https://medium.com/@keivan/the-day-appget-died-e9a5c96c8b22

I love how this comment is here on a PR from Apple for an open source project… WebKit, LLVM, Swift… these are pretty fundamental open source projects, in addition to a bunch of other stuff. You can’t please everyone all the time, and society is too addicted to outrage these days.

Doesn't Microsoft compile Edge with Apple's open sourced Clang compiler?

  LLVM was a thing before Apple and Apple are far from the only ones working on it

    Clang isn't LLVM and Clang was created from the start by paid Apple employees and open sourced by Apple. >One of the first uses of LLVM was an OpenGL code compiler for OS X The LLVM project originally intended to use GCC's front end. Apple chose to develop Clang, a new compiler front end that supports C, Objective-C and C++. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang#Background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang#Background Here's video of Apple's Chris Lattner giving a tech talk on the Google campus introducing Clang and LLVM 2.0 in 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeRaLPupGks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeRaLPupGks
