I do think RMS is complicit with the destruction of GCC though. I know
   his heart's in the right place about exporting the AST but it's just
   pushed all the exciting stuff (Rust, Emscripten, etc) to LLVM which is
   licensed for a tragedy of the commons.

     Ah, my pet peeve with RMS is his support for non-free (!) licenses
     on anything
     that is not software. Amazingly, I was able to convice him to change
     an -ND
     license to something else once, but that was... rather silly:

     I still have not given up, though! ;)

     Besides the GNU stuff, IMHO he is underestimated for GCC.

     Absolutely.

     Without GCC, besides linux, likely neither *BSD nor
     Apple would exist in its present form.

     This, unfortunately, is slowly coming to an end, with llvm gaining
     more and
     more ground. I love competition, but I fear possible
     proprietarization of llvm
     and a large part of the FLOSS ecosystem:
