Babashka has saved me a lot of time. I actually think it is the quickest and easiest way to get started learning Clojure, to a point. No startup time didn't seem like a big deal for my 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.
If you are just getting into Clojure itself, you might enjoy this interactive tutorial in an app that is itself written in a Clojure/ ClojureScript combo: 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.
And I'd start from the very first link! I'm sure everyone agrees an engaging writing style goes a long way. Ayphr's posts are awesome for broad understanding, some novel order to the presentation I haven't seen elsewhere
