I tried Warp on a non-trivial C codebase. It didn't work (by 
which I mean the code wouldn't compile with it). I don't know how 
clang managed to build a (for all practical purposes I can see) 
bug-compatible preprocessor from scratch to gcc, but it did and 
in large projects it makes a difference.
