IL2CPP has been on our radar for a while. We haven't gotten any real access to Unity 5 yet, so we can't say what the compatibility will be like for sure.
But since IL2CPP acts on the CLR bytecode, and Arcadia emits valid CLR bytecode, in theory there shouldn't be a problem. Time will tell!
Good question, reflective code emission won't work on some platforms. We think this will only be an issue for eval. In the future we'll probably have options for disabling eval while retaining macros for AOT.
IL2CPP seeks to provide similar functionality as AOT platforms supported by mono today (e.g. iOS). If something works on iOS, it has a very good chance of running on an IL2CPP supported platform.

That would be fantastic!
There would need to be ClojureScript style restrictions on the code though, right? IL2CPP wouldn't allow (eval) at runtime by its nature.
