I think Babashka (bb) takes important lessons learned about how Clojure grew and applies them well. Piggieback on the tools and libraries already in place and just provide a simpler, more uniform syntax and build in portable standard library (in Clojure and I assume in bb just really need to use maps and arrays). Clojurescript (CLJS) does this beautifully and bb is setup to achieve the a similar success story. CLJS is not perfect (see https://twitter.com/royalaid/status/1224830807807676417 for an example of the runtime leaking through) but it is wonderfully pragmatic and incredibly productive and hope to see bb become to bash what Clojure is for Java and CLJS is for JS.
