       Microsoft announcing that the next version of MSVC will be a Clang fork coming in 3, 2, 1... ;)https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/26.html

       @floooh It would be great tbh. Lots of nice things in gcc/clang msvc doesn't support (esp for C)

       @daniel_collin @floooh Reducing the number of distinct compilers is bad for the same reason as reducing the number of distinct internet browsers is bad.

       @dominikg @daniel_collin @floooh being distinct alone is not valuable, both of these tools needed to interoperate with each other, so it needs to be actively maintained, updated for newest concenses while driving innovation (new concenses) forward.Today msvc is only a nuisance, a inferior product, it stops people from doing good work and doesn't offer anything in return, it needs to go.

       @dominikg @daniel_collin @floooh The cross os codebase I maintain today (majority of the code written by windows devs) can be immediately improved with hundreds of lines removed and many spaghetti code simplified if we drop msvc compatibility, and is there code like this in the reverse direction? none.
