Yes you are, but then you have to wait a minute or so after any single change to any file if you do a script workflow. If you do a Revise workflow you end up doing mostly the same because it just breaks all the time and you have to reload the session. Or you can use some bizarre hack like DaemonMode.jl that also just breaks all the time.

Julia is hard to debug as is (and this is fully acceptable to me due to the architecture) and these hacks on hacks make it just impossible.

Julia suffers from the same "fancy calculator" approach than e.g. R and Matlab, and like those, they refuse to take note of the decades of experience in software development that this just leads to a total mess if you have anything more complicated than a one-off analysis. It's like insisting on editing files with ed because that's how it's always been done.
