Does it really allow any language? That sounds nice in theory but how many complete languages have been fully implemented on top of vanilla LLVM and which version does it need? I see many experimental frontends that may one day be complete but by then LLVM will be at a new version and will likely be using a different bytecode.

I like the idea of having a language specifically for compiling to but either way someone has to build the prototype implementation. This idea of building LLVM, JVM or CLR in to browsers might be good but code is what matters when it comes to proposing standards.
