Isn't web assembly in the browser suited for these kinds of problems? You could run the code, spit the benchmarks and save that (maybe saving the code and the time of the submit for validation.)?
Does anyone know about this?

Theoretically, it should be possible to do it all in the browser, just a lot more work given the state of things now.

LLVM just does pure computation, really, so it's not hard to port to wasm - much simpler than say Python (which has also been ported several times). The only challenges with LLVM are the build system (which has self-execution), working around some issues like clang wanting to open a subprocess, and adding some ifdefs.
The history here has been several ports "for fun", so no one has tried to upstream anything. But if you have a real use case that could benefit from this, we should talk with the LLVM people and see. Feel free to file an issue and cc me and we'll find the right people.
