>is much bigger than two compilers

Yes, it's three: clang, gcc and msvc.



Only when using tunnel vision for desktop and FOSS UNIX clones.


What are the other major compilers? Intel has switched to LLVM for example (and presumably clang as a frontend).


Plenty to chose from in embedded, high integrity computing, RTOS, Aix, IBM i, IBM z, Unisys,....

Just because HN folks don't used them, doesn't make them irrelevant in the set of companies and indivuals that seat at WG 21 table.

That is why I used the expression "tunnel vision for desktop and FOSS UNIX clones.".


Huh, I mean yeah gcc, clang and msvc, for desktop, servers and GP embedded hardware. That's like 99.99% of the compiling that most likely happen in the wild. Far from tunnel vision.
