Research direction

Start by reproducing the C# interactive-window workflow described here: navigate to a namespace, invoke the database setup function, and determine how DLL dependencies are currently supplied. Compare that behavior with the Clojure REPL's (in-ns 'my-db-namespace) flow and its compile-before-start requirement. Done means the project can expose the requested namespace-level dependencies without manually including every DLL, with the expected interactive behavior defined.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is there a way to navigate to a namespace and start using db or other server functions without having to include every dependency?

The Clojure repl allows you to call (in-ns 'my-db-namespace) and then I can call my database setup function. All dependencies are include when you navigate to the namespace. Currently, it looks like I have to include all .dlls when I am in a c# namespace. Is this feature possible? However, the Clojure repl compiles the program first before the interactive dev environment starts.
