Yea. But it's all better than nothing, though. I mean, if you have to run something on JS/AS3/Silverlight, it's better than not being able to use D at all. Speaking of, anyone know of any good tutorials for making an LLVM backend? Preferably geared at someone with no compiler-backend experience? I've looked at LLVM's docs, but I couldn't make heads or tails of a single word of it.
