Hi,
Alec Taylor <alec.taylor6 gmail.com> writes:
Would be good to have Python, Rust and Go.Are there any LLVM parsers around for these popular languages?
A programming language is much more than a parser and AST. It has specific semantics, and a runtime (in the case of Python, the runtime is very large as it hosts a lot of functionality).
So it wouldn't make much sense to have "just a parser".
However, if you are looking for an implementation of a subset of Python using LLVM, you can take a look at Numba: http://numba.pydata.org/

Antoine.
