It's one (the only?) chance to use D in the browser.

None of those are actually D code running natively though.
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.
Actually, the docs contain a nice introductory tutorial on how to use
llvm to make a backend:
