  Yes https://fasterthanli.me/articles/so-you-want-to-live-reload-... (discussed here https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/j0ajdy/so_you_want_to...)

  And then there's this crate https://docs.rs/live-reload/0.2.0/live_reload/ which works on the same principles as the article above, and is based on C code (i.e. the same approach works for C).

  There's a bunch of other libraries that work the same way, and some example code that can do this. I can find https://github.com/irh/rust-hot-reloading and https://github.com/porglezomp-misc/live-reloading-rs and https://github.com/xixixao/hot-reload-rs

  And then there's https://github.com/emoon/dynamic_reload which is perhaps better?

  And there's https://github.com/draivin/rust-hotswap which has a nice API but uses a deprecated rustc internal API doesn't build anymore.

  Anyway there was a library that did this in a more elegant way and I just can't find it (perhaps it was rust-hotswap anyway).

• hot reloading sketches and apps in Nannou

  I see the Nannou part of your question was answered, but to the other part: You can hot-reload in a compiled language, I'd just generally advise against it without specific toolchain support or some other kind of runtime support (since this is a system language you can do it yourself). There are some people who do it, and more power to them. For example: https://github.com/irh/rust-hot-reloading
