That would be surprising, since the REPL was developed for Lisp in the 60s, which actually works that way.
- pixelperfect 7y agoThat isn't a contradiction - the advantages of a REPL are greater for Clojure than for Lisp.
- lispm 7y agoFrom what I see that seems not to be the case. Reloading code in REPLs in Lisp is widely used.
