I always have my Clojure "juggernaut project" open all the time , it's a project with all the dependencies I am using, so when I need to use or write some new Clojure code I don't have the penality of the JVM startup. This is definitively not ideal, but it's working. May be improved with projects that preload a JVM in advance (like Drip), or by using a client - server model (exposing my "juggernaut project" as a REST API), to be able to invoke it from the command line (curl, ...).
