Earlier this year I saw the demo of Quake running in Flash directly translated from C++. It was very impressive to say the least, Adobe has some great coders and the amazing advantage of having their code running on almost every computer with a web browser.
I just came across this post that talks about an open source backend to the LLVM that will enable C/C++, Python, Ruby, Perl, Lua and other languages to be targeted to ActionScript bytecode (the language the flash player runs). It sounds like it will need some more work and support of a new Flash player version but the possibilities are extremely exciting.
