Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Out walking the dog in the rain and typing on my phone with frozen fingers 😅

no problem, I was just happy it was easy to answer your question :-D

@U04V15CAJ this question comes up quite often. Any plans to create something like linqpad or autoit where users install a bb ui and can share scripts?

I don't see the relation to linqpad with self-contained executables?

Linqpad queries are self-contained, but not self-contained executables. I love the idea though, I use Linqpad every day.

bb has an http server making a UI element with clojure-syntax support is easy (view source of https://squint-cljs.github.io/squint/) so it should be relatively easy to whip something like linqpad together for bb scripts

you could even do the gist thing like is done here: https://babashka.org/sci.configs/?gist=e83da19df3d2739861334171779f79d5

I wonder if The Right Thing would be a cross-platform gui app created with GraalVM

(that links with babashka, and/or just starts new processes with it for execution)

I'm not sure if that is even possible yet

well, good luck making a GUI with clojure syntax support

Probably taking a look at how portal launches a dedicated webview would be the easy way

Easier for sure

but hey you might as well use Calva or something...?

For the people who like Linqpad I'm not sure it is a good alternative because the purpose and focus is different. But I'm not sure if there are enough Clojure Linqpad enjoyers to warrant a serious effort.

@U08JKUHA9 my sentiments exactly! djblue portal and rebl seemed like options but they don’t have the same focus. i would use a clj-pad or bb-pad

my point was that you can launch a webview like portal does, not that portal does a similar thing to linqpad

but it seems to require chrome

Oh, I was responding to this: > but hey you might as well use Calva or something...?

But yea using a webview for the output is probably a good idea. Maybe an Electron app would be feasible without too much time investment.
