During the last LLVM developers'meeting, several Apple engineers made some presentations about their work on different aspects of LLVM. One of them explains the work on "clang", a new C front-end, which will also support C++ and Objective C. Chris Lattner also discussed the use of LLVM in Leopard Open GL. Slides and videos available. Additionally, LLVM 2.0 was released recently.

Seriously; I can't understand it. I tried to look it up, and all the information I could find out about it was very obfuscated, without giving a clear idea of what it did or where it came from.
(It doesn't help that the video presentations in the site linked were only provided in Quicktime format, either...)
The closest thing to an inkling I got was that it's a sort of cross-platform compiler, something that would compete with GCC, except that it incorporates GCC in it. Is this correct, or was that site far off?
