Can Emscripten compile LLVM to JavaScript?

Question

I'd like to know if Emscripten is self-hosting in such a way, that it can compile LLVM to JavaScript?

By "LLVM", you mean the IR clang++ -emit-llvm spits out when compiling LLVM libraries? — user395760

Interesting thought. It might work (with some major rewrite, I assume) but even if, the resulting JS would probably be HUGE and slow. — abergmeier
