I believe MacRuby is on LLVM, but is Mac-bound, as it also relies on some 
Apple-specific stuff that's been built on LLVM.

Am I right?

What I'd really rather see is something like Rubinius targeting LLVM, but in a 
cross-platform, open way. But I have no idea how long that would take -- I 
don't think there's any Google funding for it.
