Creating a binary executable from a Clojure script #769

Question
Can I compile a clojure script, with the boot shebang, and use the binary executable instead of running the start boilerplate evertime?

To Reproduce
create a file example.clj,

#!/usr/bin/env boot

(defn -main [& args]
  (println (str "Hello "
                (reduce str (map #(str % ", ") args)))))

Example call,

chmod +x ./example.clj
./example.clj "Peter" "Julian" "Mary"

Outputs:

Hello Peter, Julian, Mary, 

Expected behavior
Get an executable that doesn't take 5 seconds to do the same output,

  • with Clojure.
  • without a project folder structure.
