Bizarre how so much of the computing world revolves around GCC.
@uranther *inb4 gpl is evil*
@kk It's healthy to question the status quo.
@uranther Of course, I was just betting that someone would reply with some anti-GPL sentiment. Hopefully I'm wrong.
@uranther Also, I think the reproducibility and boostrapping work that's going on will help provide a base for software that doesn't depend as much on incomprehensible binaries or massive code repositories.
@kk Can you elaborate on that? Are you referring to #ReproducibleBuilds?
@uranther If we can manually verify the source code of our basic dependencies and build them reproducibility, it provides basic protection against backdoors in software.
@uranther Please excuse my ignorance, but why IPFS?
> #IPFS makes it possible to distribute high volumes of data with high efficiency. And zero duplication means savings in storage.
> IPFS provides historic versioning (like git) and makes it simple to set up resilient networks for mirroring of data.
> IPFS powers the creation of diversely resilient networks which enable persistent availability with or without Internet backbone connectivity.
@kk why not git-on-IPFS 
@uranther Sounds like it's worth checking out!
@uranther Well, the combo of reproducible builds and source-boostrappable builds.
