Clojure namespace management - Is there a way to save and restore the state of clojure repl namespaces, imports etc.?

Question

Clojure has a large number functions/macros for working with namespaces and java package imports. To my (limited) understanding the set up of namespaces can be considered state

Answer 1

This won't always work. You can remove Vars from a namespace with ns-unmap, but other pieces of code may still hold references to those definitions.

Clojure, because it is based on the JVM, has no concept of a "memory image" like some Common Lisp or Scheme implementations.
