HLVM

What happened to the HLVM project? I understand it was intended to be a
high-level VM specifically for dynamic languages and this post indicates that
it was integrated into the LLVM project last year:

But I cannot find any code in LLVM that looks like it would have come from
HLVM.

Don't know about the status of the project, but the code seems to be here:

http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/ (in directory "hlvm")

Thanks. Looks like HLVM has not been updated for 16 months but VMKit is alive.

HLVM was checked into an llvm svn module, but it died shortly after that. There are a couple of reasons: 1) the main author got busy and lost his time to work on it, 2) the goals of hlvm are very broad and poorly defined (possibly unachievable?) so no one else seems to have picked it up.
