This looks to be more like just an IR parser. I was imaging that it actually ran LLVM IR.

That's great. People trying different things. Hope that makes languages targeting JVM easier.

One can always execute (interpret) after parsing, by any strategy from lame to excellent. Meanwhile if I were involved with LLVM I'd be proud to see 'my' IR being exploited like this.

Didn't "America" invent LLVM?

How hard is it for the reporter to find out which university did this? By not knowing the school or the people involved, this article seems less trust worthy.

Just more blogspam. Calling the person who wrote this a "reporter" is a definitely not right.

the whole of china, you say...

If every inhabitant wrote a single line of code, they could rewrite the linux kernel in mere seconds!
