This is really cool. I'd love to see a system whereby pure computation modules were also supported in the browser via web assembly.

Me too! :)

The possibilities of rustc (which has an LLVM backend) and Emscripten (which consumes LLVM IR) are really interesting.

Agreed! In fact it would also be useful in Node: you could build an almost-full-performance but portable version of a native module as a fallback for clients who don't have the requisite software to build a Neon library (say, one they only indirectly depend on) on their machine.

And, before you know it, we'll have realized the dream of Urbit, in JS ;)

Always bet on JS!
