I have a friend who is totally sold on LLVM, but I note that it is itself written in C++, so bootstrapping would be difficult (I think I still have a running version of GCC 3.0, . As for me, I guess I was waiting for the opportunity to point out that the Go Nuts are discussing options for a visual interface for Go which is where I would place my bets. Still, the point that the infrastructure could be based on an existing code base is not to be frowned upon. I suspect that in this particular instance we're either going to get very strong leadership producing a robust, but easily criticised outcome, or a weak community that produces a wishy-washy compromise that pleases no one, but is just good enough and will become the next bloated standard. I'm happy to take part in the former project. ++L
