Hmmm late to the conversation but I always wonder why emscripten focuses so much on C++, my understanding is that it compiles LLVM IR to javascript, and clang is used to generate the LLVM IR from C++ in the first place.
Wouldn't it make more sense to market it as llvm-ir-to-javascript compiler? That way it would be more attractive to users of any language with a llvm frontend.
