Babashka: A quick example

babashka scripting could be overkill if you just want to rerun your generator every time some file changes. There's Entr is for that. What sort of automation can babashka do that isn't easier done with Python or Lua?

Babashka's target audience is primarily Clojure developers that just want to keep writing Clojure instead of switching to a language like Bash or Python for shell scripts. It's not a matter of better, just more familiar.

This one of those cases of: "were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should"
