Babashka Babooka: Write Command-Line Clojure

I&#x27;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!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;matthewdowney&#x2F;dab4d12d001152dec473e3c4db5c36dc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;matthewdowney&#x2F;dab4d12d001152dec473e3...</a>

I just started using &#x27;nbb&#x27; which is a node.js version of Babashka for automating various web tasks using playwright and it has been fantastic

If you work on Mac, there are a lot of great ways these days to script in a better language than Bash. Here&#x27;s how to write easy scripts in Swift, without learning a new language: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rderik.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;using-swift-for-scripting&#x2F;#our-first-swift-script" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rderik.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;using-swift-for-scripting&#x2F;#our-first...</a>

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

Babashka is a great success story for open source. The author has written so many useful and interesting utilities that he is now supported by contributions.
