Has anyone heard about Microsoft working on a similar project? The proof of concept last summer seemed to have raised a lot of interest among Microsoft people. I hope they take that route.
Edit : I misread this article. Neiter of the projects i mentioned target webassembly. But CoreRT could one day.
Microsoft has two similar projects:
CoreRT : Which is a managed re-implementation of the CLR allowing for AoT compilation.
LLILC : A LLVM Backend for .NET MSIL. (Stalled)
