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.

    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.html 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 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.

    If you're truly looking for an info dump... https://gist.github.com/ssrihari/0bf159afb781eef7cc552a1a0b17786f https://gist.github.com/ssrihari/0bf159afb781eef7cc552a1a0b1... And I'd start from the very first link! I'm sure everyone agrees an engaging writing style goes a long way. Ayphr's posts are awesome for broad understanding, some novel order to the presentation I haven't seen elsewhere

    This is for general Clojure, I’ve had a lot of fun and learned a lot from it (and the original): https://4clojure.oxal.org/ https://4clojure.oxal.org/
