Babashka is a native, standalone, batteries included and fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting. The intended use case for babashka is to use Clojure for scripting in places where you would previously use bash. It comes with several batteries included. The memory overhead and start-up latency is much smaller than JVM Clojure. The intent is that bb scripts can also run with normal Clojure if you outgrow bb, so there is a smooth migration path.
The tool has been in development for over three years but hasn't had a breaking change in over two years. The 1.0 release is a continuation of that stability.
