I just learnt that Erlang can remote load code and modules onto all instances of a cluster by using the “nl” command. Can any other languages do this?

Technically any of the lisp dialects could do it. Since ‘code is data’ in lisp, passing some code onto a different box and ‘eval’-ing it would do the job. SLIME does this to some extent via remote repl using sockets.
