Aside from the obvious problem that the babushka is the grandmother herself, not the clothing she traditionally wears, what on earth do headscarves have to do with coding? How is this metaphor intended to work?
- Borkdude 7y agoAuthor of babashka here. The original tagline was "a sprinkle of Clojure for the command line". A user of babashka commented that this tool was exactly right for him to cover up the grey areas of bash (bash constructs he could not remember the syntax for). If you picture bash as a grey woman and Clojure as the headscarf to cover her grey hair, the metaphor might start to make sense.
- marssaxman 7y agoAha, that makes more sense - thank you for the explanation.
