Sure. You could write a compiler and assembler in ocaml. But you'd
need to write glue code in C or assembly to convert the ocaml
representation to machine data structures, and to call into your
ocaml-based compiler implementation on-demand when a function is called.
But to compile your language/bytecode to ocaml source, and then JIT
compile that? No help there, no…
