I was going to post a comment on their site, but decided not too as it would harvest my entire Google+ contact list.
This is a common "feature" of many blogs nowadays, and it a massive barrier to participation.

From the article:

"LLVM is a compiler technology nominally used for C/C++ "

No it isn't. LLVM stands for Low-Level Virtual Machine, and its aim was always to provide a low-level VM suitable for both JITing and static compilation. The CLang project applies LLVM to C/C++ and Objective-C.

Any article which makes such basic errors reduces my confidence in their reporting of the news item under consideration.
