The dragon logo is definitely cooler than the gnu or whatever GCC users. I declare LLVM to be the victor.

Gnu’s logo is a ram which always reminds me of baphomet/pentagram.

not saying that’s the intention, but it does make me think of that.

Gentoo picks these up pretty quick, but you get to keep the pieces if it breaks

Indeed, installed clang-17 yesterday:

1695160086:  === (4 of 23) Merging (sys-devel/clang-17.0.1::/var/db/repos/gentoo/sys-devel/clang/clang-17.0.1.ebuild)

timestamp 1695160086 maps to "Sep 19 2023 23:48:06 GMT+0200". Play time is here.

Sadly it will take distros like Arch many months to upgrade. Arch upgraded to 16 just a couple of weeks ago....
