"Lighthouses in the sky" was pro-slavery & pro-racism Virginia Senator John Randolph's criticism of John Quincy Adams policy to build astronomical observatories throughout the US. Adams referred to the observatories as "lighthouses of the skies" and Randolph turned the phrase during the Congress of Panama to embarrass Adams. Could be complete coincidence that Dr. Getting used the same phrase, but this time with a productive connotation.

Bytecode is not machine code, and I specifically said source files "or usually bytecode". A C program is compiled into machine code (and more specifically a platforms given executable format) before dlopen(3) is called on it. Not sure what point you're really trying to make.

They asked if it could be "as fast as the JVM", which JIT is a crucial part of how the JVM achieves its performance. JIT in this context is referring to the process of a source file (.rb, .js, .c, etc), or usually bytecode, being compiled into machine code. I cannot think of an instance where a C source file is JIT compiled and dlopen(3) will not be happy if you tried to call it on a C source file.
