Yes, there are tools like rcrl (mentioned in the blog post) that dynamically link in new pieces of code [1]. The author of rcrl gave a nice talk at CppCon [2].
The trouble with tools like that is that they're pretty language specific, so it's my impression that it would require a fair bit of work to generalize to languages other than C++.
