babashka
i just figured out what it is what i like so much about babashka. It's that there are so much defaults allready made for you where you normally have to fetch libraries for. I was always thinking why we have to pull in all this deps on our own and a plattform doesn't fetch them allready for us. Especially in clojure we have so many mature libraries that stayed the same for years and could be updated quite easily. I love the approach and just wanted to give some kudos to everyone involved into this ecosystem and babashka itself. OVER AND OUT!
in these times of supply chain attacks against developers, I really enjoy vendored dependencies... instead of downloading plethora of code from the internet in every project
100% thats exactly my thinking and i mean yeah modularity and freedom and stuff but for example routing or rendering html or generating sql statements there should be a standard for that. we have implemented that as a profession a thausand of times. And in lisp languages if you don't like the api or interface go ahaed change it with functions or even macros if you like
In my opinion Babashka is the best DevOps tool I've ever used. Let me explain why. I’ve been on a mission to prove Clojure is the ultimate language for operations, and I think I’ve finally hit the mark with the combo of Babashka and bb.edn.
I just released the first BigConfig package: once. It makes Basecamp’s ONCE even easier to use. ONCE belongs to the "Heroku clone" category. To see the efficiency in action, imagine deploying a https://shipclojure.com project (complete with domain, TLS, and transactional email):
1. Write a Markdown plan (or paste one from the web) stating your intent and PaaS requirements (OCI or AWS for example).
2. Let Claude Code generate the working bb.edn.
3. bb once create to go live.
It’s entirely data-driven and declarative. You get tasks to build containers and provision infrastructure without writing a single line of traditional Clojure code. It makes the power of the ecosystem accessible to everyone, even if they've never seen a paren.
What is once? Is it like a Kamal wrapper of some sort?
