How do these compare? I have been exploring a bit with Cling but don't know enough to evaluate the differences

Cling takes C++ and interprets it like a REPL would. CodeGen is a JIT compiler that takes what's essentially an IR and uses LLVM to generate assembly from it.

cling got a C++ jit via LLVM lately. When you add or change a function, it's jitted.

I think it always had a JIT?
