You can inline C code in Nim with the `{.emit: myCcode.}` pragma
(<https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#implementation-specific-pragmas-emit-pragma>)
so if you get HCR running for Nim you can have the proper C code.
Now, the whole context is very confusing and doesn't really make sense to me.

If you have a C API, it's somewhat stable, why would you need to dynamically
recompile your API calls?

I don't understand why you need to compile something in the first place, either
it's an API and it's stable or it's not and if you need fast self-modifying
code, use an interpreted language, bytecode VM or a JIT to skip the compilation
step.
