I’m definitely happy to see this happening. But I would like to point out two ingredients that constitute LLVM’s success beyond academic merits: License and modularity. I’m not a lawyer so can’t say much about the first one, all I can say is that I believe license is one of the main reasons Apple switched to LLVM decades ago. Modularity, on the other hand, is one of the most crucial features of LLVM and something GCC struggles to catch up even nowadays. I really hope Tilde can adopt the modularity philosophy, provide building blocks rather than just tools
