Interesting. I think I've read about something like this in an article by Paul Graham - I think he said that Lisp is a language which can read and compile code at run time, and the other two combinations too (e.g. read and run at compile time, and so on). If this is what you meant, can you give a practical example of the use of compiling code at run time?
Got it, thanks. I was thinking it might be useful for certain kinds of cases only (maybe only certain advanced types of functions or use cases), but now I see that it is generally applicable, in the example you gave.
