Who will be leading the effort to launch the track?

I will be leading the effort by collaborating with the Bash track (relevant to the language's target domain) and incorporating material from the Clojure track which I am currently maintaining. Michiel Borkent (@borkdude), the language creator, is very active on my Slack team and available to answer questions.

This sounds exciting! I'll get a repository bootstrapped for you in the next couple of days.

I'm sorry about the delay here. Things got a bit nuts in the past week. I'm starting to get back on top of things, so I hope to get this done soon.

No problem, I'm just stoked to be doing this! If it's any help, I already forked the Clojure repo and ported over the exercises and the tests: https://github.com/porkostomus/babashka

For CI, I suppose this may be of help: https://nextjournal.com/a/M4woRraF1pz1zjvjgBY9T?token=Td2LLVyNFmR6rXMEJ7bKZ6

Thanks!

I still need to get this added to Travis CI, but unfortunately the travis site is endlessly hanging for me at the moment. I'll keep trying throughout the rest of today.
