> I don't think GCC is under any threat of being abandoned any time soon. Look harder. clang+llvm have a superior (because more modern) design with easy plugins and complete openness while the gcc toolchain carries with it the state of the art of the 90s. It was a remarkable product back then but in the 21st century, it's showing its age. And I'm not even talking about the license aspects here, which also matter quite a bit (clang+LLVM have a license that is much more in line with real world needs than gcc does). gcc is on a clear path to obscurity and obsolescence.
