That is great news :-)

If you are inclined to share them, I would love to hear more about the
process and what your thoughts were when you were evaluating LLVM and
why you went with JET?

So we need to create a libxslt2 bridge now right?

expect to expand the range to all Saxon editions and capabilities in due
course. Like Saxon on .NET, the product is single-sourced from the Java master
code, so we expect it to remain in sync with new releases on the Java
platform.
