Afaik there was a prototype Ruby JIT that used the C compiler this way and loaded the resulting code as a shared library. I did this with a Python decorator and ctypes so I could inline and hot reload my C extensions using @c_func def add1(n : int) -> int: """ return n + 1 """ I haven't touched this space in years, I think there are a couple Python libraries that do this now. I did not generate C code at runtime tho.
