+babashka.org bb

[phrohdoh]

This changeset adds a babashka.org package which provides the bb executable, from pre-built releases (available from GitHub).

This allows pkgx users to successfully execute commands such as pkgx bb -e '(println "hi")'.

Fast native Clojure scripting runtime
Avoid switching between Clojure and bash scripts. Enjoy your parens on the command line.

As you can see from the build script, the URL to the GitHub releases are version, platform, and architecture-specific so there is no distributable in this package manifest.

is it possible to build from source? it looks like it's written in clojure, so you might need the curl you're using to get the compiler to bootstrap itself. it looks like even their brew tap is using their CD builds.

might get a little hairy: https://github.com/babashka/babashka/blob/master/doc/build.md

we should try, but i won't be surprised if it quickly becomes too much.

you know, it looks like a bear. we'll vendor this for now.

I agree, it looks quite hairy upon initial investigation. I may be able to make time in the future to change this to a build-from-source package.

Shall I add the following to this package.yml?

[jhheider]

yeah, i added and did some cleanup.
