nbb VS integrant

The SCI/babashka clojure interpreter might be a good fit, if you're ok with a lisp.

It's mature and fully sandboxed.

To try it out, run npx create-helix-app in your terminal. It is powered by Nbb, Ink, and Helix itself!

Thanks for building! May also want to share in #extension-news in discord to reach more users. Fwiw, you might be able to write the whole script without the need for compilation with https://github.com/babashka/nbb. You may also be interested in https://github.com/logseq/nbb-logseq as a fair amount of logseq core is scriptable

I wish there was something elaborated for scripts that run on Node. I've been using nbb[1] for scripting, and although it all runs through Node.js, it is fast and quick to prototype scripts. The best part is in CI I can simply `npx nbb path/to/script.cljs`. Things get clunky if I want to use anything about of the Node stdlib though, since then you need the dreaded node_modules folder around.

For clojure I just found for babashka it seems someone natively compiled jsoup with graalvm and exposed (minimal functionality from it) as a babashka pod, or a possibility would be use nbb like babashka for node. But if racket has the libraries you need and you don't need js/jvm ecosystem than I'm sure it'll be great also

There are some folks using nbb on the backend as well: https://github.com/babashka/nbb, e.g. in AWS Lambdas or via the sitefox framework: https://github.com/chr15m/sitefox. Don't expect stellar performance from nbb since it's interpreted CLJS rather than compiled (as you have with shadow-cljs) but for small scoped projects and fast prototyping it might be ok.

I tried reproducing this example from the nbb documentation.

If you don't want to deal with the tooling but want to practice the language, have a look at https://github.com/babashka/nbb

Integrant isn't suitable for nbb in its current state, so I eliminated a couple of features, and now it works fine. View the GitHub project @crinklywrappr/integrant.
