I used to keep a document called "Babashka news" up to date but haven't been doing it since... a long while (https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/master/doc/news.md) In the future I'm just going to add news items directly to the changelog so I won't forget. I dug up a couple of nice news items from 2025 so far: News • Cognitect Lab's https://github.com/cognitect-labs/aws-api now runs with babashka! • DataStar's https://github.com/starfederation/datastar-clojure now runs with babashka! • https://github.com/NoahTheDuke/lazytest compatibility • https://github.com/gfredericks/test.chuck compatibility • Article: https://blog.nundrum.net/posts-output/2025-07-09-clojure-cgi/ • Babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka-sql-pods If you remember other stuff since spring 2023, let me know and I'll add it.
https://github.com/paintparty/bling is bb compatible. Maybe other newsworthy ones in https://github.com/topics/babashka
added
The article about babashka and cgi is too good 😄 i love it
Nice! I like how you annotated with "built-in" vs "pod" too.

@cldwalker wow thank you! where did you find all these?
Np. Most from the link I shared from above, https://github.com/topics/babashka, and some more from https://github.com/babashka/babashka/issues/1798. I’m also curious what github search @lee used for those
Maybe we need something like {:deps "*"}
For the bb-compatible badge change I did? I used http://grep.app to find the existing bb badges.
Nice! https://grep.app/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fbabashka%2Fbabashka%2Fmaster%2Flogo%2Fbadge.svg is handy. https://github.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fbabashka%2Fbabashka%2Fmaster%2Flogo%2Fbadge.svg+NOT+is%3Afork&type=code may pull up a couple more
if any interesting libs should be added here, feel free to send PRs! https://babashka.org/toolbox/ https://github.com/babashka/toolbox
I like that. It makes it more visible too.
