Hi, Instead of "low level" 'load call, you should use either 'require or 'use in the REPL.
That would allow you to either (require 'bar) => will not try to get a fresh content of bar from the filesystem if ns bar already exists (require 'bar :reload) => will force ns bar to be reloaded from the filesystem (require 'bar :reload-all) => will do what you want, e.g. force every directly or indirectly namespace used or required from namespace bar to be reloaded from filesystem.
