But none of that was written by Microsoft employees, so I'm a bit confused about what exactly this blog post is announcing. It feels a bit like they're taking credit for the work done by the clang community.

We are announcing that we will ship a hybrid compiler that combines the clang frontend with the c2 existing backend. We will fully support that for building portable code within Visual Studio for Windows. We definitely don't want to take credit for the clang community's work. We have a ton of respect for those developers. We intend to make contributions back to the community and we've started to reach out to some of the relevant parties. Thanks, Steve, VC Dev Mgr
