That could be hidden from the user by tooling though, perhaps by recompiling the previous version of the namespace with just the form the user wants to load modified. That would also fix one serious problem with per-form evaluation, which is that the line numbers for subsequent forms get messed up (assuming that the form you're working on is a different number of lines to the previous version). This affects exception stacktraces and debugging.
Also, anyone using CLJS and Figwheel is already loading ns-at-a-time. It's a slightly different workflow, but most people seem to love it.
