and they mostly replied to that (including some solution ideas like
converting your language to JS. You might even see some speedup
They're already in that position with Dart, translating source code into JS.
I think there's some real benefit long term going down this route,
working on WebKit's flexibility, because LLVM is turning into a real
option for the web.
Taking this back to the "engineering" purpose. LLVM works. It's not
complete yet, but it works.
There are two very workable targets: PNaCl and Emscripten.
emscripten as a target is pure JS and supported by modern browsers.

http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/native_client/trunk/src/native_client/pnacl/
There is good reason to consider native code execution:
it will run faster than emscripten.
