examples. Please note all details of the claim ― "First natively compiled
language with hot code-reloading at runtime":
* " **NATIVELY COMPILED** " \- as in lean machine code binaries. This
excludes scripting languages, VMs, and huge binaries that embed the VM.
Hey, a while back I wrote an article on this subject:

Neat work you've done though.
There are Forth systems that can do this as well. You have to manage everything
yourself and your code might not work or be compiled to native code on other
systems, but this is true of everything else in Forth.
Erlang also has hot code loading with versioned code and precise and easy ways
to
Did you read the comments at the links you list? People are saying that Common
LISP was doing both at the same time in the 80s. One of them even describes
what can go wrong when you do it badly.
Here's just one of many:
> Common Lisp can change pretty much anything at run-time. If you redefine
There are many examples of VM and scripting languages that can do hot code
reloading, including Great-Great-Great-Grandpa Lisp. And there are Lisp /
Scheme implementations that can create native binaries. The questions is, can
they do both at the same time?
Great. Now you guys have ticked off the LISP crowd. ;-)
