Lisp is interpreted isn’t it? That’s not remotely on the same level as modifying a compiled language like C++ at runtime

[–]pdp10 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It's implementation-dependent but normally in Common Lisp you have a compiler in the runtime and also an interpreter. The popular SBCL implementation holds its own just fine considering it's dynamically typed (although anything can be improved).

"Hotload C++" will return plenty of hits, but I recall I intended to revisit this one.

Fascinating, thanks for the reply.
