Gee, that sounds like the web apps I was building a decade ago, except
it was standalone. It pretty much loaded all the code in the
deployment directory, let you telnet into a repl to poke around in the
guts of the system, including reloading modules, adding new ones,
resetting things.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and I'm looking for better
tools. Clojure definitely a better language....
