Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project over what he perceives as code of conduct hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, de Espindola said he was leaving immediately and cited changes in the community.

LLVM project founder, Chris Lattner responded; "I applaud Rafael for standing by his personal principles, this must have been a hard decision." Lattner also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."

    Personally I'd rather have one asshat that writes good code than 100 nice people that write CoCs and mission statements.

    Hopefully we'll never work at the same place. Ever.

      Is that because you're the asshat who writes good code or the asshat who writes CoC's and mission statements?

      No risk of that, my company doesn't hire transsexuals.
