You can check if the current file is the file babashka was asked to execute. Example from my code: https://github.com/teodorlu/play.teod.eu/blob/ba8cc73f0aeb701c6c277cbd7879a2ed06d09956/play.clj#L5 Then your code works both as a script (-main is executed) and as a library (-main is not executed)

> This can be exceedingly handy for editing complex scripts interactively, while not being able to adjust how they are invoked by other tools.

Also, you can eval the whole script from your REPL without accidentally running anything -main.

Wohoo! This works great -- thank you team

I ended up using the bb tasks rather than a main as it allows me to have multiple entry points for the different 'tasks' I want to handle. The :init section parses the command line and then options are available to the individual tasks.
