Xtext does not make any assumption on the platform to generate code to.
It just generates text form your models, which is usually compiled by
another compiler.

The generated editor for your Xtext language is based on Eclipse. I am
not an expert, but I think there is support for the LLVM infrastructure
in Eclipse CDT. So everything could be integrated in a single Eclipse IDE.

If you refer to Xbase or Xtend, Java is currently the only supported
target. We rely heavily on Java's typesystem, so adding another target
platform will be a lot of work.

There is robovm which takes Java-Class files and translates them to
native binaries using LLVM.
