         | workflow until I got instant startup time when running script,
         | and starting repls -- The kind of repl where you can inspect
         | and act on anything in your program.
         | 
         | Babashka tasks is fantastic too! Multi-threaded, simple, and
         | very few surprises.

           | That's great, I was just checking out Clojure a few hours ago
           | and now have it installed. Any other cool blogs and resources
           | the fine folks on here could recommend.

             | And I'd start from the very first link! I'm sure everyone

             | https://orgpad.com/s/iByMMbKLBnq There are links to other
             | resources. Just click units with more pronounced shadows -
             | those have contents, e.g. small interactive editors, videos
             | etc.
