Key sentence: "The goal is to showcase the power of C++14 templates and not to create a fully functional transpiler."

Viewed through that lens, this is a really novel and cool demonstration.

This seems to me to be very close to what Pythran [0] is doing (since 2011), except that Pythran includes some type inference and bridge with Python code.

So view through that lens I'm not really seeing the novelty right now?
