You can instantiate any code by calling the nix-* executables, and much
more. The speed might be a little worse, but wrt. introduced
dependencies it shouldn't be significantly different from using a C ABI.

Communication with a single instance of nix-repl might be more efficient
for some use cases, as it can retain evaluated sub-expressions between
individual "commands".
