Bebo – run Clojure scripts on Deno

Made this little thing: https://github.com/borkdude/bebo In the spirit of deno it allows you to install a script from an https location but for Clojure(Script, .cljs). Why would you use this? I love Clojure and I'd love to see it in more places than the JVM and browser. Maybe you do too. It is similar to the idea of nbb which allows you to run .cljs scripts on Node.js via the SCI interpreter: - https://github.com/babashka/nbb - https://github.com/babashka/sci I posted this project yesterday but forgot to add "Show HN"... I hope that…

Bebo – run Clojure scripts on Deno launched on July 3, 2022 with 48 votes, #748 of 2,916 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Bebo is a tool that lets users run Clojure and ClojureScript scripts on Deno, similar to how Deno runs JavaScript. It allows installation of scripts from HTTPS locations and is built using the SCI interpreter. The tool is designed for developers who want to use Clojure outside traditional environments like the JVM and browser, extending the language's reach to more platforms.

  • I made a Clojure-like language in Go, boots in 7msMay 2026 · github.com · ▲292

    Let-go is a Clojure-like language (~90% compatible with JVM Clojure) written in pure Go. It ships as a ~10MB static binary and cold boots in ~7ms - that's about 50x faster than JVM and 3x faster than Babashka. It has decent throughput on algorithmic workloads - within ballpark of the GraalVM-backed sci. I started this project in 2021 as an elaborate practical joke: I wanted to have an excuse for writing Clojure while pretending to write Go. Jokes aside, it turned out to be pretty decent: it feels like real Clojure, it has an nREPL server (supported in Calva, CIDER, etc.), it's easily…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
