During the last LLVM developers'meeting, several Apple engineers made some presentations about their work on different aspects of LLVM. One of them explains the work on "clang", a new C front-end, which will also support C++ and Objective C. Chris Lattner also discussed the use of LLVM in Leopard Open GL. Slides and videos available. Additionally, LLVM 2.0 was released recently.

You should be able to; from what I understand, its not 'virtual machine as in the traditional sense of the word. You can also go straight to native code if you want. Its going to be interesting to see how mature LLCM is like, and much much of a role it'll play in future development of MacOS X; it will be interest if they (Apple) eventually drop GCC in favour of LLVM.

Seems interesting...
I wonder if a product like LLVM could be used to compile OS kernel code. But I'm guessing not.
