Building an entirely new compiler front-end is a big task, and it isn't always clear to people why we decided to do this. Here we compare clang and its goals to other open source compiler front-ends that are - available. We restrict the discussion to very specific technical points - to avoid controversy where possible. Also, since software is infinitely - mutable, so focus on architectural issues that are impractical to fix - without a major rewrite, instead of talking about little details that - can be fixed with a reasonable amount of effort.

+ available. We restrict the discussion to very specific objective points + to avoid controversy where possible.

The goal of this list is to describe how differences in goals lead to different strengths and weaknesses, not to make some compiler look bad.
