Some people have already made an LLVM-to-Javascript compiler, and have managed to build Python 2.7 with it. The LLVM-to-Javascript project is called emscripten. https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki Demo of Python (and a bunch of other languages) here: http://repl.it/ Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
