If Clojure REPL (i.e. `lein repl`, `boot repl`) fired up instantly, the need to reload application state
inside the REPL would go away. But at the moment, and for some time in the future, managing state by making it
reloadable within the same REPL session is important to retain all the Clojure superpowers.

`mount` comes with an example [app](https://github.com/tolitius/mount/blob/master/test/mount/app.clj)
that has two states:

* datamic connection that uses the config to create connection
