Hi Makslane,

This is definitely a direction that we'd like to go with clang.  There  
are already people in the community that are very interested in  
interpretation specifically (e.g. read/eval/print loops), and Clang is  
built to be reusable in many different ways.  We also already use and  
support clang as a JIT compiler.  If you're interested in this, this  
talk from the llvm developer meeting is useful:
Building an Efficient JIT

In any case, I think Clang would be very well suited for this sort of  
use!
