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."

    And you think "discrimination" isn't ill-defined? You should be thankful you haven't met one of these mighty warriors. They make Cardinal Richelieu look like a pansy. The Cardinal needed six written words to condemn an honest men; a righteous warrior needs only that you exist.

    I'm not even joking. Your very existence exudes privilege and if you aren't groveling for the under-privileged, you are an enabler discriminating against minorities.

    In UK "discrimination" is pretty well defined in law.
