How to convert javascript to LLVM IR?

Question

Is there any LLVM backend for javascript? If not, other tools that convert dynamic language(similar to javascript) to LLVM IR will also be okay. Because I am writing a dynamic language compiler and such tools can help me find out how some features are implemented.

For which programming language is the compiler being written? — Anderson Green

@AndersonGreen It is just a toy language created by myself, similar to javascript. — AllenLin

there are few projects on github about it. One of them is TypeScript Native Compiler (github.com/ASDAlexander77/TypeScriptCompiler) — Alexander77

FTL JIT (JavaScriptCore) uses LLVM as a backend.

Other VMs for dynamic languages using LLVM MCJIT:

Pyston
HHVM
LLILC
Julia
The list goes on

As of Feb 2016, FTL JIT (Webkit) no longer uses LLVM; they use B3 (Bare Bones Backend) JIT: webkit.org/blog/5852/introducing-the-b3-jit-compiler
