Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't babashka's "host"... um.. "native", for lack of a better word? It's compiled with Graal VM native, no?
Yes, there is SCI (Small Clojure Interpreter) in the middle, but that's beside the point, no?

Babashka's interop is with Java, since Babashka uses a Graal-compiled version of the JVM. It's still the JVM, just baked down.
This is different from interop with the native world. It's different from the host runtime actually being native, rather than a baked down version of a whole VM.
Graal's native images blur the line between the JVM and native, I would not say Babashka has a native runtime. Perhaps borkdude would disagree. Might be an interesting discussion.
