Mark #Charlebois at #QuIC announces #DragonBoard: dev platform like #Pandaboard, #BeagleBoard. Does 1080p, but probably not w free software.

What the hell's #DragonBoard? Why does #Qualcomm's #Charlebois want devs to ride one? Is it some kind of tricked out boogie board? !LinuxCon

@fontana,I'd guess #Charlebois fits well with #CCR lyric: "Some folks are born silver spoon in hand / Lord, don't they help themselves, oh."

@fontana,I wonder if #Charlebois of #Qualcomm is still pushing #LLVM (to #Apple's benefit). He was at #lfcollab when I saw him. !LinuxCon

@tekk,yeah,I've heard error msg thing is a clear place where !LLVM > #GCC; strangely #Charlebois preferred mostly mistruth e.g.'s instead.

#Qualcomm's #Charlebois said #GCC has no LTO. Wrong! See ur1.ca/3spxc !LLVM'ers like GCC's LTO so much they use it sometimes!: ur1.ca/3spxk

BTW if one can explain why one'd wanna JIT compile on mobile device as #Qualcomm's #Charlebois says is #LLVM's killer app,I'd appreciate it.

#Qualcomm's #Charlebois: Told me he *knows* !FSF did plugin exception (that I coauthored) b/c of #LLVM &says it'd "be insane to use !Parrot"

Bradley M. Kuhn The GNU General Public License , Daniel Martí

@danielmarti, #Apple certainly is anti- !GPLv3; that's known fact. After #Charlebois' keynote, I'm convinced #Qualcomm is, but cant prove it

Bradley M. Kuhn Alison Chaiken

@alisonchaiken, that's *only* accurate thing #Charlebois said on #GCC. But didn't explain why JIT is valuable on a mobile devices! #lfcollab

Bradley M. Kuhn

I asked #Qualcomm's #Charlebois why they dislike #GCC. He gave a bunch of half-truths & even boldfaced lies about #GCC v. #LLVM. #lfcollab

Bradley M. Kuhn

Looks like #Qualcomm drank the anti-#GCC kool-aid that #Apple is serving. #Charlebois is gushing re: #LLVM. Don't believe his exaggeration.
