It would be correct if I said that for something like a game CL with its full hot reloading would be an advantage but for web-like where things can be made mostly stateless would not make a difference (namely, in practical terms I do not need to restart things)
The other thing: can I patch something in production without redeploying in Clojure? I think both CL and Smalltalk have this live image feature. Is it possible to hot-reload a stateless function in Clojure without restarting the system?
I have a reason to ask for this since I think it will be handy at times for maintaining my own thing. Not a piece of software with 5 guys behind so it can make a difference in time invested.
