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."

    Except Soylent's starts with "Promote Quality, Discourage Crap" and the latest in CoCs can be paraphrased as "Promote Diversity even if it's crap, Discourage White Males regardless of merit".

    The difference being, we don't use any of that to no-platform or eject anyone except spammers.
