Why would llvm favor linux? FreeBSD also officially moved from GCC to LLVM for the base system, so I don't see why LLVM wouldn't support it.

a good question, my line of thinking was: if llvm allows easy ports to freebsd, why is freebsd always a lower tier than linux in llvm based projects?

weak reasoning, as it might just be a supply/demand and not a product quality question

> Why…

It’s almost always available resources.

Possibly demand as well. We know that Apple operates a whole bunch of Linux servers, do we know if they’re running FreeBSD internally?

I would say that LLVM is more important to FreeBSD than it is to Linux.
