> Oh, so when LLVM has something announced, but at least a year from existing, that's a plus point for LLVM, but when LLVM has something existing and GCC is only talking about it, that's also a plus point for LLVM.
Yup. It means that companies are actively investing in LLVM to the point where it's going to dominate everything else. And it will happen within a year or so.

> What does "the development focus" mean?! If you mean loudmouths on the internet who contribute nothing to either project are spending their time hyping LLVM, I must agree.
It means that when you're starting a new project, you first go to LLVM and not gcc. E.g.: Rust, BEAMJIT ( https://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/search/publication/5... ), Pyston, beignet, ...

Do you know anything exciting happening lately with gcc? It still has some momentum and a lot of developers are more familiar with it (so it gets new C++ features faster), but it's clearly fading.
