Service Reloaded REPL

A guide covering the various libraries, tools and editor support for reloading code

NOTE: Ensure there is a description or link covering how to avoid needing to reload the code base ('unevaluating' vars, etc), i.e. keeping the repl state clean

Reloading the project code shouldnt be needed all the time, although it is very useful if there have been sigificant changes (especially a namespace refactor)

Reload in Conjure

There's already hooks into tools.namespace.reload which does exactly this but automatically, I use it a lot.

Olical config to reload my code and then restart my system through mount:

(tset vim.g :conjure#relative_file_root (vim.fn.getcwd))
(tset vim.g :conjure#client#clojure#nrepl#refresh#dirs ["src"])
(tset vim.g :conjure#client#clojure#nrepl#refresh#before "mount.core/stop")
(tset vim.g :conjure#client#clojure#nrepl#refresh#after "mount.core/start")

Reloading specific directory trees

set-refresh-dirs to specify directories to view when using tools.namespace.refresh/refresh - useful for excluding clojure files in dev or develop that are not part of the main service or still in development (even if they are on the class path)
