thanks for the recipe!

Is for the CINT backend. There are a couple of optimizations in RPython for
that backend, so those need to be translated, and the latest pieces are on
the reflex-support branch, not in trunk at the moment.

On the CPython side, we're closing in (finally, yay! :) ) on having an LLVM
(Cling, that is: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling) backend. After
that, I can consolidate; dependencies and re-packaging is going to take a
bit of time. Way nicer, though. Not only C++11, but also since Cling is
dynamic, it is a much better fit to Python. Think cross inheritance, calling
Python from C++, automatic template instantiations, the cffi interface for
C++ as well, etc.

Best regards,
            Wim
