Clojurians Log v2

Out of curiosity, is the ebook about babashka still a thing? :)

Everything that has been done about the book is hosted here: https://book.babashka.org/ The chapter about child processes is already stale because of babashka.process. I'm not sure if I want to continue with the book or just make the README pages in the babashka repo better.

As I'm funded by Clojurists Together I spent all my time on development and not writing this book (since the book may be sold for money in the future, something which I'm also not sure about ;))

Wrote some docs about "choosing the right http client": https://github.com/borkdude/babashka#choosing-the-right-client For babashka 1.0.0 I envision we can have a http://java.net.http client that replaces all the options.

has anyone ever investigated compiling SCI into C++ with https://ferret-lang.org/ ?

It would surprise me if the sci clojure code was compatible with ferret all the way down. But there is documentation around how to compile sci to a native .so library and how to call it from Python for example: https://github.com/borkdude/sci/blob/master/doc/libsci.md#using-libsci-from-python

I would buy it 🙂 If it is good tutorial in the end.

I wonder how many examples from the clojure cookbook work or could be ported to bb: https://github.com/clojure-cookbook/clojure-cookbook

I'm considering incorporating https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj into babashka, so you can use a babashka.edn to resolve deps without manually having to set BABASHKA_CLASSPATH. But this will still require a JVM for resolving those deps if these deps aren't already downloaded. :thinking_face:
