Anyone knows if intel parallel studio is profitable?

Used over in HPC here and their cluster version (which bundles Intel MPI) is several thousand dollars. Aren’t it’s tools also the core of Clear Linux? Or does that default to GCC/Clang?

Why?

LLVM and GCC are dominating the space and pretty much killed propretary compilers.

Rust both greatly benefits from and is encumbered by LLVM. Maybe there’s room for a different LLVM-like or perhaps LLVM compatible project.

Interesting, what do you think makes is encumbered by LLVM?

I thought that sqeezing MIR in the middle Rust could get both Rust-specific transformations and then benefits from the LLVM generic code optimizations...

It can!

LLVM is fantastic, but it's also a huge C++ component, and it's not necessarily optimized for speed. It would be nice to end up with something in Rust to simplify the toolchain needed, and to maybe have something that could be even faster for debug builds.
