Re:Hot code reloading with Erlang on Friday December 04, 2015 @07:36AM (#10675941)
Interesting. The hot code reloading functionality in Erlang led me to investigate ruby (my preferred Dev language) a bit more.

You can do a hot code load in Ruby using the Kernel#load() call. It won't alter functionality currently on the call stack, but it will change the functionality of everything not on the call stack. With some sympathetic design, you can achieve hot code loading fo high availability in ruby.
