I hope GNU can turn itself around, but because having n+1 competing FOSS implementations is a huge boost. I just fear it is not a sustainable situation.

libgccjit and the new rust backend is a good sign.

That's exactly an illustration that a few competitors is unhealthy for the ecosystem, and llvm isn't going to evolve as fast as it did.
