Chrome now uses clang for production builds on Linux
It's been a good run, but we're finally seeing the end of free compilers.<p>Over time, using Clang effectively will require proprietary modules from Google, Apple, et all and the GCC project, long dead, will haunt us from the grave.<p>We'll tell stories to our children about how when we started learning to program, it was easy to get started because compilers were free, but now the only free compilers are toys, ill-suited for anything but the most basic education.<p>A special thanks to everyone who helped make this possible by attacking GCC and championing LLVM whenever possible. I hope it's very, very easy for you to write extra modules for your new proprietary compiler.
