Regarding the last item about building with clang on Windows, I'd not recommend 
people who use Visual Studio for debugging Windows build to build with clang at 
this moment.

I've tried using lld-link as linker (while continuing using cl rather than 
clang-cl) for my local Windows build, and it seems to cause problems when 
debugging with Visual Studio. Specifically, you may not be able to invoke 
debugging functions like DumpJSStack, DumpFrameTree in Immediate Windows, and 
variable value watching doesn't seem to work well either.

I've filed a bug[1] for the debugging function issue (and probably should file 
another for the watching issue as well).
