Hi. Why clang is required? I am on gentoo and I can compile and use Atom/electron fine without it, and it doesn't seem that any clang atom packages are installed by default.

Thanks alot,
sarnex

Because clang is required by Chromium for building, and the prebuilt binaries of libchromiumcontent which used by Electron are built with clang. Also Electron uses some C++11 features which might not work older GCC.
