Or possibly building the source for a dll/so on the fly.
A nice and funny idea combining the benefits of scripting and compiling.
A little bit similar to the "ahead of time" reatlime compiler in a Java

Did somebody ever indeed put something like this to work ?

In my case it was a MIDI filter: display messages in a debugging window as they came in, edit the library to handle them specially, reload and repeat. The result was a program that could transpose multiple manuals and switch between transpositions depending on button presses, but where the message emitted by each button was very much dependant on the keyboard model and manufacturer.

I'm sure there's a better example.
