Performance oriented ones, such as GPU-compute with Metal.

Perhaps not for legacy corporate codebases, but for people who 
have more recent code bases it probably will.

It matters because stack-less coroutines is a significant 
feature, by the time Carbon is ready with tooling (say in 5 
years) frameworks will have adopted stack-less and people will 
look forward to C++26. That most likely includes HPC stuff.

MSVC and GCC are heavy weights, and most Clang extensions are 
close to GCC, so switching a codebase from Clang to GCC isn't 
really a big deal (or shouldn't be for reasonable code bases).
