Hi! thanks for your enthusiasm. I am writing a tutorial that can be fun both for experienced and newbie coders here https://dyne.org/docs/cjit
As a fun project we hacked a C interpreter (based on tinyCC) that compiles C code in-memory and runs it live. CJIT today is a 2MB executable that can do a lot, including call functions from any installed library on Linux, Windows, and MacOSX.
C is cool, but have you tried: CJIT stands for "CJIT Just In Time"
