I think that's pretty wasteful, why won't you just use clang? What's the
point of competing with another opensource project (a very good one,
that took a lot of men-hour to do a good C/C++ compiler, including the
preprocessor). I understand Walter did this in a couple of weeks, clang
have been developed for at least 7 years now, is totally understandable
that clang outperforms warp, is enough merit for warp to outperform GCC.
I mean, if someone wants to have fun, go ahead, but putting community
effort on that where there are so many places that are more important to
put the effort on seems a bit silly.
