I think your last comment hints at the possibility- runtime generated and persisted code... e.g. the first time you call a function that doesn't exist, it persists if it fulfills the requirement... and so the next time you just call the materialized function.

Of course the generated code might not work in all cases or scenarios, or may have to be generated multiple times, and yes it would be slower the first time.. but subsequent invocation would just be the code that was generated.

I'm trying to imagine what this looks like practically.. it's a system that writes itself as you use it? I feel like there is a thread to tug on there actually.
