yet another lovely babashka experience this morning. We're running on Google Cloud, which is a constant source of novelty. That novelty is not always conducive to joy or productivity. But Babashka! Wrap the painful terminal magic stuff, return to the REPL. ☺️ Just like the Conj Babashka Clojure adoption talk (https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C8NUSGWG6/p1769016178663559)

(gc "auth list")
;; => ({:account "", :status "ACTIVE"}
;;     {:account "", :status "ACTIVE"})

(see 🧵 for gc impl)

funny side-effect of Alex Miller announcing in a really concise way is that it's way nicer to refer to it from other places.

if we took "does it spark joy?" seriously, I fear it would not survive …
