9 Tongue in cheek, but have you tried doing away with gcc, clang etc?

11 If you're going to use a source-based system, a bunch of compilers
12 "comes with the territory".

14 Many people see Rust as a "better C than C", so that's why it's becoming
15 popular. (Oh, and does Rust have its own compiler, or is Rust just part
16 of llvm?).

18 The way things are going you might find all you need is the llvm
19 collection, and gcc will be obsolete ...
