I see lots of languages targeting the LLVM (for example Ruby's MacRuby implementation, Python's Unladen Swallow, and recently a thesis about using it for Haskell through the GHC).
What does this mean for the average programmer? I'm assuming that the more popular it gets, the more likely it is to be further optimized? Is there any effect on cross-platform portability of code?
