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.

Answer 1

FTL JIT (JavaScriptCore) uses LLVM as a backend.

Other VMs for dynamic languages using LLVM MCJIT:

• Pyston
• HHVM
• LLILC
• Julia
• The list goes on
