I may be misunderstanding your point here, but surely Java's
ClassLoader's make that simple? It's about 5 lines of code to
replace the system classloader with one that can be told to reload
classes from disk (the system one caches any loaded class - hence
there's no effect if you recompile/replace a class file once the
program is running).

And I would have thought that other languages provide simililarly
easy-to-use functionality?
