Here is the link to a thread on GCC&#x27;s mailing list discussing the move by NNSA:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10578354" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10578354</a><p>LLVM has a huge momentum now and it&#x27;s negatively affecting GCC. GCC has been in trouble before but they got out of it by being the best free compiler available. I don&#x27;t know how much longer they&#x27;ll be able to sustain without making some changes.
