This was originally opened as issue 139 on the ponyc repo:

There is a detailed list of requirements and some discussion.

I'll do a RFC on this eventually if nobody beats me to it. It's roughly the same problems as the JIT stuff I've been working on.

This and some related issues were discussed briefly during the first part of today's sync call.

@sylvanc mentioned this paper, which has a technique that may help with dispatch in a dynamic-compilation system: http://www.lirmm.fr/~ducour/Publis/pnm.pdf

EDIT: Actually, not 100% that was the specific paper he was talking about, but it was the right author. Here is another paper by the same author on a similar subject: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6b24/4fd8fd6214fdc5ee65bf74432c88f30763de.pdf
