Tangentially related: http://nixos.org

Sure you don't compile at runtime. But, you can choose which version of 
a package you run and can have as many versions installed as you like.

Package paths are based on the hash of the compiler input iirc, so every 
version is unique in its build/run environment.

Try it out, lots of fun.
