Clang:

- has about the same quality of error messages as GCC now

- is now almost exactly as slow (/fast) as GCC at compiling now

- sometimes produces faster code than Clang, sometimes slower, about the same overall

I see no reason why the default would change.

well for one clang uses way less memory (RAM). also ld.lld is wayyyyyyyy faster than ld (and also uses way less memory).

ld.lld works with any compiler, and anyway, mold is even faster and also works with any compiler.
