I seem to be lagging a little in the conversation, but for what it's
worth, the code I use to capture function definitions is:
(defmacro mkfn
"Create a function and record the source in the var metadata"
[name & fdecl]
(list*
`defn
(with-meta name
(assoc (meta name) :source (s

Phil - got it. It wouldn't be hard at all to write a script to monitor
a directory, and any jar you throw in there gets exploded to the
classpath dir like you use. That would make it pretty painless.

For the record, this is usually termed "dribbling" in the Lisp world.
It's very h

Docstrings aren't the only comments in my code. :)

Isn't this why you would use a doc string, and not a comment?

Comments are part of the problem. Clojure's reader strips them out
while parsing before compiling the function, so you would lose them
during the first round-t
I half-solve the "what have I defined?" problem with a combination of:
1) trying to always work from a file rather than entering stuff by
hand at the repl
2) always working in a "scrap" namespace whose contents I can inspect
using ns-interns and clojure.inspector/inspect-tree, like so:

The only problem I see with this approach is that you leave it up to
the user (me) to sort

Perhaps instead of saving an image, it should be able to save a transc
Hi Jurjen,
That wrapper for defn is something I was looking for in another post;
I previously asked how I can inspect the definitions of my functions
on the REPL. When I'm exploring stuff I'll be redefining many
functions many times and sometimes I lose track things. I basically
have to scroll ar
I had the same thought (as posted in the other thread) and haven't
come to a final solution yet. The main reason I wanted to achieve it
was that I do my developing / tinkering / brainstorming spread over
several work boxes spread out through several locations, and a clojure
REPL is cheap and easy,
Thanks Daniel, that makes perfect sense, especially about having
random - and forgotten - code in the image. I have a lot of this
during my exploration sessions.
The main reason this is an issue for me is during development I
sometimes find I need another library added to my classpath. Right now

Hello,
Sometimes I have pretty long REPL sessions where I'm trying to flesh
out some ideas. When I close my instance of Clojure Box (Emacs based)
I lose all the definitions I had worked out over time. Is there any
way to dump namespace(s) to an image? It would be great to be able to
