It takes LLVM bitcode - which can be generated +from C/C++, using `llvm-gcc` (DragonEgg) or `clang`, or any other language that can be +converted into LLVM - and compiles that into JavaScript, which can be run on the web (or +anywhere else JavaScript can run). + +Links to **demos**, **tutorial**, **FAQ**, etc: <https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki> + +Main project page: <http://emscripten.org> + +License +------- + +Emscripten is available under 2 licenses, the MIT license and the +University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. + +Both are permissive open source licenses, with little if any +practical difference between them. + +The reason for offering both is that (1) the MIT license is +well-known, while (2) the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source +License allows Emscripten's code to be integrated upstream into +LLVM, which uses that license, should the opportunity arise. + +See `LICENSE` for the full content of the licenses. |
