In Erlang it's possible to hot swap code. I'm not sure how it
works though. But if we're talking servers, the easiest is to
have multiple instances and restart one at the time with the
new code.
Looks like it is doable because it is byte code:

My recommendation would have been using a DLL, but that was
already excluded as an option.
