Clojurians Log v2

@borkdude thanks for the helloworld youtube video. I’ve been thinking about replacing a cljs lambda with graal to improve cold starts so this is very helpful

Damn, I went to run bb on a new machine and I saw something that looked like a fancy htop. Turns out I had installed this: https://crates.io/crates/bb

:/

Maybe you can convince them to change their name, since > This is a "weekend" side-project made for fun and babashka is more than a weekend side project made for fun?

you have more stars, don’t worry. I just uninstalled it 🙂

but how did you install it?

I must have stumbled upon i

so basically it just preceded babashka in my PATH

ah ok

I was so confused. I was running my own script with a bb in the shebang and this popped up

Might be worth posting an issue at their repo anyway

I thought, ” I don’t think I wrote a process viewer”

hahaha lol

"wow, my script turned out pretty great" :)

yeah haha 😄

@rahul080327 Did you make any progress on getting bb into Debian? This might prevent the clash with other binaries?

Just double check - bb cannot do a proper exec as in man 3 exec, because IIRC JVM can't do that either, right?

@lukaszkorecki The closest is probably:

$ bb -e '(-> (babashka.process/process ["clj"] {:inherit true}) deref :exit (System/exit))'
Clojure 1.10.1
user=> (+ 1 2 3)
6
user=>

@borkdude ah nice - I'll try that! Thanks

JVM can’t execve?

@grazfather I'm not sure if I ever used exec in any other "managed" language but some things in the JVM aren't possible because they have to operate on each OS, including Windows

although in java.nio there are some Posix related features that only work on unix-likes

ah. Golang handles that by offering direct syscall access, of course, putting that in your code makes you lose cross platform

though I basically would never care to support windows

Sorry no, i did get some initial work done, but had issues with things built with graalvm as a debian package, as they need to be built from src etc. got stuck up with more work later and will try to give it another shot sometime 😕

I'm asking because if we manage to get bb into debian, there might be less other projects "stealing" this binary name? ;)

as for the name if you find some thing at <http://packages.debian.org/|packages.debian.org/>&lt;your pkg name&gt; its a conflict and we need a rename

bb seems to be taken

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/bb

apt install bb would install this as of now

bb-clojure could be an option 🙂

and then people would have to alias it themselves?

yep

apt wont let you install it as bb

ok, then I won't worry about it anymore then

also simply calling it babashka would solve it too

seems to be available

how do I claim it?

Unfortunately its only taken when a package is uploaded 😕

ah well
