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."

    Anyone that wants me to merge their pull request has to include a slur against a protected group in the request. Thus, if you care more about your virtue-signalling than your code, I can reject it and send them on their way with a Sam Adams quote.

    No muss, no fuss, no SJW drama, fork it if you don't like it. Compiler doesn't discriminate between white code and black code.

    Future code compilers will have a dna checker dongle witch will provide the information to stir in the repository allah skin color sex eye color etc and set contol bits such as Teh Evil Bit accordingly*
