About 15 or 20 years ago I had a work flow using SBCL Common Lisp where I saved images and always restarted a new work session where I left off. Easy to do. I was motivated to do this because I had a ton of linguistic and text data in my environment which back then took a little while to load. Now, I organize everything I do into small or sometimes tiny Quicklisp projects/libraries and that is much more convenient for me. If you want to really get into image based programming, the open source Pharo Smalltalk is very good.
