coursier VS babashka

This is an upstream page size issue, equivalent issue here: https://github.com/coursier/coursier/issues/2636

I feel like this is already is the case, one can use coursier https://get-coursier.io/ or scala-cli to get started with Scala extremely fast.

I had a nice workflow installing different Java versions using SDKMAN but switched to Coursier because that't what's recommended in the Almond installation guide. In order to run `jupter lab` and start up the notebook environment, I need to separately install Jupyter Lab via conda (and activate that conda environment).

Could a Java project use a similar scheme? Probably, but the practicality of that is dependent on programatic resolution tools like coursier which don't exist in a convenient form for Java programmers quite yet.

Shell for issuing SQL to relational databases via JDBCIf you have Coursier installed, you can quickly connect to a demo Hypersonic database with:

This seems the same thing: - https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/4479 - https://github.com/coursier/coursier/issues/2395

I use coursier to install scala. https://get-coursier.io/

If you truly must avoid it, then take a look at coursier and ammonite: https://get-coursier.io/ and cs launch com.lihaoyi:ammonite_2.13.1:2.0.4 -M ammonite.Main

I'm digging a bit deeper on this Google Artifact Repository task and it looks like it won't. See https://github.com/coursier/coursier/issues/1987 for more details.

It also gives you access to Babashka if you want Clojure for other use-cases where start-up time is an issue

I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Created by the same guy who created babashka which is a way to write bash scripts, node scripts, and even apple scripts using Clojure. A very proficient and influential developer in the Clojure community. This is how borkduke's neil helps us:

Not what you asked for but there is Babashka for scripting in Clojure.

Clojure's lazy sequences by default are wonderful ergonomically, but it provides many ways to use strict evaluation if you want to. They aren't really a hassle either. I've been doing Clojure for the last few years and have a few grievances, but overall it's the most coherent, well thought out language I've used and I can't recommend it enough.

There is the issue of startup time with the JVM, but you can also do AOT compilation now so that really isn't a problem. Here are some other cool projects to look at if you're interested:

Being a Clojure addict, I guess I have to leave the obligatory link to Babashka too then: https://github.com/babashka/babashka (Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting)

which is now on hiatus. babashka: https://babashka.org

I've enjoyed babashka for scripting; which is close enough to clojure to allow using some/many libraries; but (probably) not for embedding.
