Ok, that explains why babashka wasn't suitable. I still wonder, though, about the requirement to have an executable.
I still remember many years of reading comp.lang.lisp, where the #1 complaint of newcomers was that "common lisp cannot produce a native executable". I remember being somewhat amused by this, because apparently nobody expected the same thing from other languages, like, say, Python. But apparently things have changed over the years and now CL implementations can produce bundled executables while Clojure can't — how the tables have turned :-)
