You can sort of do that with some of LLVM's JIT systems https://llvm.org/docs/JITLink.html, I'm surprised that no one has yet made a edit and continue system using it.

My parens sense is tingling. This sounds like a lisp-machine, or just standard lisp development environment.
Maybe of interest: https://github.com/clasp-developers/clasp/ (Lisp env. that uses LLVM for compilation; new-ish, actively developed.) However, my impression (I didn't measure it) is that the compilation speed is an order of magnitude slower than in SBCL, never mind CCL.
They have! It's called Julia and it's great.
