I have the same discussion every few months, using FORTH as an example. I guess there are a lot of environments where you can use this style of dynamic updates - TCL, FORTH, Lisp, & etc.

Yes, with Tcl starting a server from an interactive interpreter and changing function and class definitions on the fly is trivially simple.

I'm writing a Tcl web sever that uses Tcl's namespace features to change the execution environment the client sees on a per-connection basis. Trivial. Anybody else got that?
