>The true essence of delightful and plain right software development must be over in OpenBSD land, where they run the one and only gcc 4.2.1

Clang actually.




That's what it says in the marketing material, then you look inside and there it is, the ancient gcc the guys with the claim on most free license can't update because of it's .. licensing.

If it was only an exercise in self-flagellation, sure whatever, but no, their tears flow upstream when stuff 99% of the population uses on Linux inevitably breaks with their bastardized gcc.

(This is very obvious if you consider that no, they don't have an LLVM backend for the alpha)
