This is a CERN project and it uses Clang from the LLVM project. The idea is simple: use the clang to generate LLVM and then use LLVM just-in-time compiler.
Before that CINT was used (another C++ interpretter) - here is the page where they announce the future transition CINT -> CLING - http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cling

Well, for anyone interested in Cling, check out this Google tech talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Xfh8pv3Fs
