Babashka is cool. I’ve looked at it and want to learn more, but it’s always a question of time.

Babashka has saved me a lot of time. I actually think it is the quickest and easiest way to get started learning Clojure, to a point. No startup time didn't seem like a big deal for my workflow until I got instant startup time when running script, and starting repls -- The kind of repl where you can inspect and act on anything in your program.

Babashka tasks is fantastic too! Multi-threaded, simple, and very few surprises.

That's great, I was just checking out Clojure a few hours ago and now have it installed. Any other cool blogs and resources the fine folks on here could recommend.

I've really enjoyed Babashka lately. Most recently, I ported a script from Bash which gets around WiFi captive portals and was able to add some features and even unit tests. Super fun and would have been hard for me to do in Bash!

This might be further down the rabbit hole than you want to go, but I enjoyed the incredibly detailed blog post here with Babashka and deploying a AWS Lambda: https://jmglov.net/blog/2023-01-04-blambda-analyses-sites.ht...

That blog post wasn't about nbb, but about bb, right?

If you are just getting into Clojure itself, you might enjoy this interactive tutorial in an app that is itself written in a Clojure/ ClojureScript combo: https://orgpad.com/s/iByMMbKLBnq There are links to other resources. Just click units with more pronounced shadows - those have contents, e.g. small interactive editors, videos etc.
