Why is the implementation language important to you as a user?

Their interest seems to be primarily in alter the toolchain itself.

To make this a multi-use comment, I'll also reply to GP and say that in every single case where I've benchmarked time sensitive code, GCC has generated faster, tighter code. I still primarily use clang for other reasons, but saying that GCC is more performant seems to be entirely valid.

The answer is in the paragraph you quoted from. "work with" includes extending the implementation.
