Good to mention Microsoft is also depending on Clang for a lot of things (Microsoft is also quietly pushing devs to use Clang-Cl, as MSVC has really showed its age and is still notorious for bad error messages and subpar compiler optimizations…)

Some console vendors are also depending on it as well (Sony, Nintendo). Clang really is the most important C++ project of all time, because it’s the only compiler that’s truly cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, game consoles, etc…) And recent failures in it catching up with C++20 should be very alarming.

Where? MSVC is not going anywhere and has been partially rewritten.
