[llvm-dev] JavaScript implementation of LLVM primitives (Value, Block, etc)

[George K via llvm-dev]

Hello Matt,

I found this https://github.com/MichaReiser/llvm-node , however i am not 
sure of its status.

If you are familiar with Python, there is llvmlite: 
https://github.com/numba/llvmlite

Some llvmlite material here:

About the IR interpreter, there is lli: 
https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lli.html
