Hi,

we want to implement a C++ interpreter using LLVM and clang, to replace
our existing one <http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cint> that is used
as part of a data handling and analysis environment
<http://root.cern.ch>. We plan to keep the set of features that our
current interpreter offers, e.g. calls into and out of libraries,
dynamic scoping, unloading of code, and a prompt. I will (hopefully :-)
present the plans at the upcoming developers' meeting in October. I am
aware of at least one other effort pushing into the same direction;
maybe there are more people interested in getting this done?

If you are, please contact me until Wednesday, Sept 2nd. My colleagues
and I would like to meet you informally in the morning of Saturday, Oct
3, right after the dev meeting, if possible somewhere close to the Apple
campus. We'd like to hear what your goals are, whether we can combine
our work, and discuss experiences, problems and possible solutions.

Axel.
