That anime gating is very jarring, thought I clicked on the wrong link and clicked back.

Anubis has been around for almost a year now, but it's also not particularly relevant to the content of the email thread.

It's particularly jarring to basically every site I've seen it on which is usually some serious and professional looking open source site.

I wonder why nobody configures this, is this not something that they can configure themselves to a more relevant image, like the GCC logo or something?

Because that's the difference between the paid and free versions

Right? I hope it never goes away, we should make the web more fun instead of sad and clean!

I think if you were to poll people, a significant portion would be repulsed by this catgirl aesthetic, or (though this isn't the case for Anubis) the cliche inappropriately dressed inappropriately young anime characters dawned as mascots in an ever increasing number of projects. People can do whatever they want with their projects, but I feel like the people who like this crap perhaps don't understand how repulsive it is to a large number of people. Personally it creeps me out.

Anubis is a bit annoying over crappy internet connections, especially in front of a webpage that would work quite well in this case otherwise, but it still performs way better than Cloudflare in this regard.

Shouldn't the compilers be on the bleeding edge of the standards? What is the downside of switching to the newest standard when it's properly supported?

It's the type of dog fooding they should be doing! It's one reason why people care so much about self-hosted compilers, it's a demonstration of maturity of the language/compiler.
