Babashka is amazing. It’s replaced Bash for 99.999% of my scripting needs. I thought it might be useful to describe my approach to writing Babashka scripts and compare it to how I used to write Bash.

In my terminal, text often flies by. Things like log files, thread dumps, report output, etc. All of these are comprised of text, but not all of that text is equally important. This is the story of how I got my computer to highlight the important bits for me.
