I was just wondering what would have happened if Apple hadn't backed
clang/LLVM as BSD licensed projects. Was there a plan B (other than
gcc 4.2.1) or did Apple save the *BSD world?
The backup plan was probably PCC.
Whats actually surprising is that it wasn't used as plan A (I just
looked it up); It then would have come full circle ;)
A couple years ago, it looked like a race between PCC and TenDRA, but
Clang seemed to just come out of nowhere and steal all the attention.
All three of them had a lot to recommend them, but then the TenDRA
modernization project evaporated and everybody jumped on the Clang wagon.
At least, that's how it looked to me.
Wow! I'm going to have to do some more research on compilers- I've never
heard of these until now...
I sound pretty stupid don't I? :P
