Not sure what you mean here, but... no. You can rebind, of course, but I never found myself in a situation where the REPL was too bad to be used.

I usually restart the REPL only when I add a dependency, so it will be fetched without me caring about it.

I kept getting in this exact situation when defining tests and wanting to _forget_ a test.

And the OC's onboarding experience reminds me of mine. You need some external tutorial / book to get setup.

Also, last time I used calva, the only thing I got was kondo complaining they the default test created in a brand new project were using unknown symbols, or something. So I assumed my setup was wrong, and gave up.

Clojure is "simple made easy _once you've done all the hard part as a bizuthage_"

Why do you need to "forget" ? I either change a test, or - wordst case - redefine it as being empty.

Usually something as trivial as renaming the test function.
