You load it into an HTML page with a script tag, and the Clojure code on the page is evaluated directly in the browser.

The release page lists the links, and the GitHub Pages site has usage examples.

Serving assets locally uses the babashka.http-server dependency, which works with babashka or on the Clojure JVM.

SCI evaluates your code at runtime in the browser, so it fits small scripts and quick experiments best.
