Maybe you just too used to programming in language that don't equipped with REPL.
Typical development process I have is: * analysis the problem, and design a few fn to solve it. Most of fn should be functional, so you can easily test them. * start a REPL, load that namespace, and test fns individually, if get some errors, edit fns again, and use `:reload` in `use` or `require` to reload ns, and test again. lein repl startup time is just painful. * and then write some test cases for the fns you written for your regression test. RUN is too heavy for clojure, REPL will accelerate your development a **lot**.
