I guess the examples are so simple so that every bash user can translate them easily.

- mdszy 7y agoWho cares? That doesn't do a good job showing why this software is useful. At first glance it makes it look like everything is just more complicated.
- jerf 7y agoDo you speak Clojure? If not, this isn't for you anyhow.
- Grimm665 7y agoGenuinely curious, what advantage does Clojure provide in this context that other tools don't handle as well or at all? I agree with the GP post, none of the examples listed show that this tool is superior to what bash and other GNU tools already provide. In other words, if I don't speak Clojure, why should I learn? This project hasn't convinced me it's worth it yet, but maybe it is?
- Borkdude 7y agoAuthor of babashka here. This tool is intended for people who find Clojure easier to work with than Bash because of familiarity or whatever other reason. If you're not one of them, that's fine, just use Bash.
- jimbokun 7y agoI haven't used this tool, but I imagine using the "-f" option to run a script could be much nicer than writing a bash script. Bash (or any Unix shells) aren't really known as great environments for tasks that don't fit comfortably on a single line.
- kohtatsu 7y agoI think it's for anyone who writes intermediate shell scripts. I don't "speak" Clojure but I'll be giving it a try sometime.
