That's really great!  I hope to contribute some text to it soon...

LanguageKit is more or less ready for release.  The next version will be 
classed as a preview release for x86-64, but fully supported on x86.  Niels was 
working on adding x86-64 calling convention support, but there's now talk in 
LLVM of adding that kind of thing in a generic way that all front ends can use, 
which would simplify LanguageKit's life a lot.  

I think EtoileFondation is close to ready to release.  I'm tempted to rewrite 
the NSObject+Prototypes stuff one more time.  I've just added a function to 
libobjc2 that Apple introduced with iOS 4.3 / OS X 10.7, which allows you to 
convert a block into an IMP.  This would make using blocks as methods in 
prototypes trivial, and now works on OS X too.
