### Goals
* Fast starting Clojure scripting alternative for JVM Clojure
* Easy installation: grab the self-contained binary and run. No JVM needed.
* Familiarity and portability:
- Scripts should be compatible with JVM Clojure as much as possible
- Scripts should be platform-independent as much as possible. Babashka offers
support for linux, macOS and Windows.
* Allow interop with commonly used classes like `java.io.File` and `System`
* Multi-threading support (`pmap`, `future`, `core.async`)
* Connectivity: talk UDP, TCP, HTTP (and optionally: [JDBC](#JDBC))
* Support for various data formats: JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, bencode
* Batteries included (tools.cli, cheshire, ...)
* Library support via popular tools like the `clojure` CLI
* **Fast starting** Clojure scripting alternative for JVM Clojure
* **Easy installation:** grab the self-contained binary and run. No JVM needed.
* **Familiar:** targeted at JVM Clojure users
* **Cross-platform:**: supports linux, macOS and Windows
* **Interop** with commonly used classes (`System`, `File`, `java.time.*`, `java.nio.*`)
* **Multi-threading** support (`pmap`, `future`)
* **Batteries included** (tools.cli, cheshire, ...)
