Given that org.clojure/tools.deps.edn has zero dependencies and focuses on deps.edn reading and analysis, it would probably be useful for Babashka to be able to run this lib but the first problem I ran into is:
Unable to resolve classname: clojure.lang.EdnReader$ReaderException💯 1

I installed the updated master version and can confirm that tools.deps.edn runs on bb now, so I can convert yet more scripts at work to run with Babashka!

can you explain what you're doing with it?

I have some scripts that process all the deps.edn files in our work repo -- Polylith with over 200 deps.edn files! -- and cross-checks them to see if there are missing or unneeded dependencies in some places.
I also read/merge deps.edn files to get at alias data for use in various subprocess commands.
Originally, these were Clojure (JVM) scripts based on tools.deps but I have been switching them to tools.deps.edn to get rid of all that Maven/Aether bloat in tools.deps and then I wanted to switch them to Babashka scripts so they ran faster...

That kind of a specific class for a lib that's supposed to be simple Clojure :)

I can add it to bb though. Would you mind filing an issue?
