Oh god, I wish. It's more common that you probably think.

You have a lot of options approximating this with a lot of thicker runtimes like Java/JVMs and Erlang/BeamVM or interpreted REPL'd languages like Python or Lisps. And they're incredibly useful.

Pulling up a REPL into a running process like a JS console in the browser is basically the same thing.
