alt Hacker NewsGCC usually drops frontends if there are no maintainers around, it already happened to gcj, and I am waiting for the same to happen to gccgo any time now, as it has hardly gotten any updates since Go 1.18.
The team is quite small and mostly volunteers, so there is the question how long can Walter Bright keep at it, and who will keep it going afterwards when he passes the torch.
gdc is 100% Iain Buclaw. But he and Walter collaborate on needs for gcc compatibility, as long as Iain is around, gdc will be around.
It is true we have a small team. But we are a dedicated team.
