Several Lisp implementations even do similar things which were shown in the video: compiling Lisp to C/C++, then calling the C or C++ compiler, then loading the compiled code into a running Lisp, replacing/extending code.

For example ECL. The maintainer of ECL also showed how to write inline C in a Lisp function and compile/load that in a REPL - using only a couple of lines of code - basically a C REPL inside Lisp.
