I hate to bring this up, but in my personal experience, getting started with LLVM was _much_ easier than with GCC. LLVM is a much newer codebase, so that's an advantage unrelated to the language. Nonetheless, the grouping/context/ease-of-navigation provided by namespaces, objects, etc. is indeed valuable in my opinion. Torvald
