Well, actually no need. The documentation provides everything I need.

Good documentation, by the way. 🙂

Thanks :)

Hm. Except I'm a bit confused. If I want to start babashka so that I can use its nrepl in development, and also some dependencies, like clj-http-lite, do I create a bb.edn file for my project or a deps.edn file?

a bb.edn file is for deps for babashka

and if you then start bb nrepl-server it works

Ok. Thanks!

So, I don't need: https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj

correct. where did you read this? we might have to remove that

it's built into babashka

and used if you put deps in bb.edn

I was reading this: https://book.babashka.org/_/deps_clj.html

Probably I just misunderstood it.

ah I don't know how you ended up there... it's a very old version of the book :) These are the docs: https://book.babashka.org

I can see if I can remove those old references...

My brother asked me to create an app for fetching some electricity information. I thought I do it using babashka, and write a blog post about this small project to promote this excellent tool. 🙂

Should be a good use case :) You can also use babashka.curl as the built-in library. Also java.net.http is supported

Ah. Ok. 🙂

This will be fun! 🙂

And I think I can use VSCode + Calva with babashka when developing the solution?

Let's try...

Yes

you can use babashka jack-in even

in Calva

Nice!

I remember that my last Babashka blog post even made it to Hacker News. Let's see if I can make it to Hacker News again. 🙂

:-D

Actually you told me to see it in HN. 🙂 I was watching it with great interest. It climbed to position 11 but never made it to number one. 🙂

I tried to remove that old document but now the whole docs aren't reachable... hopefully it will be fixed when the github cache is evicted...

I really have to read the excellent https://book.babashka.org/ book again before I publish the new blog post. To see that I really have understood everything properly.

ok, the book is back. I want to move to mkdocs-material at one point, Calva also has this, it looks nicer :)

Ok.

Unbelievable. I'm going to be unemployed any day now.

I installed Github copilot a few days ago, and I was amazed how good suggestions it provides. But this is the first time I try it with Clojure. It practically wrote the function for me.

I'm so happy I have paid my mortgage and I managed to gather a nice stock portfolio. We programmers are all going to be unemployed in the near future. 🙂

hehe 😅

Sorry for the delay with the blog post. 🙂 I needed to visit my old parents and provide some help there. But I wrote the blog post now: https://www.karimarttila.fi/clojure/2022/12/04/using-babashka-to-get-electricity-prices.html @U04V15CAJ: If you want, you can read the blog post, and if there is some obvious misunderstanding or something like that, ping me here. 🙂

@U76D9RZRR Reading it now. First of all, I think it's awesome you're writing this, it benefits other people to have resources like this. First issue:

{:paths ["src" "test"]
 :deps  {nrepl/nrepl {:mvn/version "1.0.0"}
         cider/cider-nrepl {:mvn/version,"0.28.6"}}}

Minor thing:

(Integer/parseInt hour)

That's all. Great post :)

Ah! I update the solution and blog post regarding these issues! Thanks!

Maybe you could show how you ran this script in cron - it might not be obvious to people how to run the script when not in a REPL

Good, point. I do it!

And finally, you could post it on social networks and #news-and-articles of course :)

Yep. I'll do it!

Done! https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C8NUSGWG6/p1670157423048409

Thanks again :)

Heh. I promoted my new Blog post also in the Koodiklinikka slack / Clojure channel (Koodiklinikka slack is the community for Finnish programmers). One reader reacted immediately with this text (translation by Google, and I fix one lost-in-translation meaning): > Very cool. Now I got a really strong itch that this might be the gateway to the Clojure world I've been missing. > > I had thought that I would make the next small shell utilities for myself with Clojure instead of Python, but I didn't really figure out where to start.

It seems you got one more Babashka user. 🙂

Yes! :)

You can use that in advertizing: "Babashka is the gateway to the Clojure world!" 🙂

I promised to help this new user in Koodiklinikka if he has any issues with Clojure or Babashka. Nice to see that Clojure and Babashka are getting more and more ground among programmers.
