This is impressive, it would be nice when people adopt that, I wonder if we could make a python for browser out of it.

I know that the Mono C# is now supported. I think it's due to its LLVM support. So basically, any language that supports LLVM JIT can be used with NaCl.

I could be wrong, but I remember reading about it somewhere. Either way, it is pretty cool technology of which nobody else seems to want to support. Which is too bad, really.

Yes, but Google contributed a huge patch to Mono to make it work, making changes in the runtime all over the place. So LLVM is not the reason, at least not in this case.

Maybe there is also a NaCl backend for LLVM, I don't know ...

Yes, I believe it is called PNaCl. It uses LLVM as its back end.

edit: I suppose a link should be presented.
