Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project [theregister.co.uk] over what he perceives as code of conduct [llvm.org] hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. [outreachy.org] In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, [llvm.org] 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." Although he also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."
