In the 1990s I heard several talks about compiler generation in that
way, and it was an old topic by then, with still no practical results,
so my impression was that it never was going to be practical.
But recently I heard great things about optimizing Truffle
interpreters which eventually results in a compiler for the
interpreted language. You probably still have to hold it right, but
it's certainly much better than what I expected.
I asked one of the people involved if there had been a breakthrough,
but he could not name one, and said that there were just a lot of
little problems to be solved.
