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."

    > What if a colleagues code contributions are good but are full of hateful comments, like comments insulting everyone from *some gender* or *some race*? Is that okay for you?

    what if I told you this started happening *after* the socjus movement started organizing itself, justifying it? hello mikeeusa.

    go see usenet archives of the days when the "patriarchy" ruled.
    Possibly from trusted sources, winston.
