Why would I use this over Cling?

it has additional features like:

  - thread support
  - string evaluation
  - debugger
  - convenient installation
  - code reflection

In the near future it will have:

  - coroutine support
  - syntax extensions
  - assembly support
  - llvm toolchain integration

Things we currently explore:

  - modules and package managment
  - IDE-plugins
  - in-browser IDE
  - custom memory models

Awesome! And this is not just REPL. I think this software will bring up metaprogramming into a new level. We can instantiate template class at runtime (at configuration phase) and plug it into a working program. As result we get flexible runtime configuration with zero-overhead abstractions at the same time.

So it is conceptually like Cling, but "done better"? What is the license though?
