I've been using Swift mostly for the last 6 months and have grown to appreciate it. I have this daydream of using the same language and other tools for the little bit of backend coding I do on node.js ... that would mean a Swift to Javascript compiler. The Apple's implementation of Swift is built on LLVM as well as this project. I don't know anything about it but seems there could be a little bit of plug and play. This doesn't address the whole runtime environment issues and I'm not sure if Apple has open sourced a basic standard Swift run time that could be ported, like they have done objective-c in the past. Lots of questions ...
First Question: how hard would it be to plug in the Swift front end to LLVM to the emscripten backend? I did a quick search here with no discussion on Swift. A broader google search indicates a few nascent efforts back in June when Swift was first announced. But I don't see any mentions of late. Second Question: Is anyone interested in starting a project that would explore this whole approach ... or point me to an active effort that I can join?
