gonna try the bbi alias for a while and see how it works. I didn't want to alias over bb because I don't want to mess with normal script running, not sure if that may cause problems.

@U3X7174KS: Yep, using rlwrap is the recommended solution from the docs: https://book.babashka.org/#_repl Small tip: I recently discovered you can use rlwrap -pblue bb to get a colored prompt for bb (see man rlwrap for other colors) 🙂
