Here are some more ports of LLVM and clang to the browser:

* https://github.com/kripken/llvm-js

* https://github.com/tbfleming/cib

* https://github.com/jprendes/emception

LLVM just does pure computation, really, so it's not hard to port to wasm - much simple than say Python (which has also been ported several times). The only challenges with LLVM are the build system (which has self-execution), working around some issues like clang wanting to open a subprocess, and adding some ifdefs.

That is half of what I would need for a project, the other half being Clang itself running in the browser (to use for teaching), in theory there is [1] since many years, but in practice it never worked for me (even now I get "Runtime error: memory access out of bounds")

It seems that there's a project doing exactly that: https://github.com/tbfleming/cib

It takes some work (mostly due to LLVM building code to run later in its build system as it goes), but it's very feasible. LLVM has been ported to Wasm (and before that to JS) many times, for example:

https://github.com/jprendes/emception (2021)

https://github.com/tbfleming/cib (2017)

https://github.com/kripken/llvm.js (2012)

I agree it would be great to see this repl running 100% in the browser!
