Thought the exact same thing! I clicked to read about new developments funded for Clang the compiler and was wondering why I haven't heard of the fundraising effort...

Well, I honestly don't think Clang needs fundraising through KickStarter :) Apple's $100B+ should be enough. GCC is now deprecated on Apple platforms and will be completely replaced by LLVM family in a year's time, so their whole ecosystem (OS X, iOS, cloud infrastructures) depends on LLVM and certainly they would spend as much as necessary on it.
