babashka

Is there a difference between running a Babashka REPL with bb and running it with bb repl? The reason I ask is because I was going to add an overriding repl task to my project's bb.edn for running a project REPL. My reasoning is that if I want a Babashka REPL I can just use bb , but repl is the most appropriate name for a project task that starts a REPL.

There is no difference. Also subcommands can be invoked using bb --repl as well

That's impressive! Clojure itself is only at 10,700!
