What is the preferred way of reloading functions defined in a Clojure file without having to restart the REPL. Right now, in order to use the updated file I have to:

  • edit src/foo/bar.clj
  • close the REPL
  • open the REPL
  • (load-file "src/foo/bar.clj")
  • (use 'foo.bar)

In addition, (use 'foo.bar :reload-all) does not result in required effect, which is evaluating the modified bodies of functions and returning new values, instead of behaving as the source haven't changed at all.

Or (use 'your.namespace :reload)
